I'm under the impression that if you just do tap:aio it instantiates a
blktap device not a blktap2 device. There are definitely different
blktap controller classes in xend which handle entries using tapdisk and
ones just using tap.

The pvops dom0 doesn't have blktap support, only blktap2 (unless blktap2 does a back-compat thing?). Or maybe it falls back to plain blkback?
