IIRC during my early experiments with blkback & blktap2, I hit a similar error.. tracing through the code, I gathered that the pagemap stuff is used to manage page grants to blktap2 kernel driver . So, the #else (ie !BLKBK_PAGEMAP) code is not going to work.
I suggest, you try to look at the blkback_pagemap.c and the blktap2/device.c or something like that to get a better picture.

Is it necessary to use blkback_pagemap with blktap2? Since the use of blkback_pagemap is configurable I tried without it and my system crashed (crash dump attached below). Or is it a bug?

I am using about a month old xen-unstable.hg with linux-2.6.18-xen.hg (both 64 bit).

Thanks.
