Have you tried to use qdisk instead of blkback for the storage
backend?

You will have to change your disk configuration line to add
backendtype=qdisk.

Roger.

Sorry I didn't realize my client was defaulting to top post.

If I add that to the disk config line, the system just hangs on the ovmf bios screen.  This appears in the qemu-dm log:

xen be: qdisk-51712: xen be: qdisk-51712: error: Failed to get "write" lock
error: Failed to get "write" lock
xen be: qdisk-51712: xen be: qdisk-51712: initialise() failed
initialise() failed
