[PATCH] hotplug: Restore block-tap phy compatibility



From: Jason Andryuk <jason.andryuk@xxxxxxx>

From: Jason Andryuk <jason.andryuk@xxxxxxx>

backendtype=phy using the blktap kernel module needs to use write_dev,
but tapback can't support that.  tapback should perform better, but make
the script compatible with the old kernel module again.

This is tested with tapback, but untested with phy/blkback since I don't
have the kernel module setup.
