Yes -- in fact, there have already been checked in block scripts which
allow one to use the out-of-tree blktap.

There are still some changes to the XenServer blktap to allow it to be
built out-of-tree -- let me know if you want those.  (I'll try to
upstream them before I re-submit the blktap2 removal patches.)
