Thank you, Fajar. This is what I was suspected - it is nice to have it confirmed.

There was a discussion thread some time ago on this list (search list
archive for details), and the info was that Squeeze does not include
either tap or tap2 due to some license problem. A patch fixed this,
but Debian manitainers haven't include it yet.

So short summary, you could either:
- Dump Debian, use other distro with proper tap:aio support (like
RHEL5. Opensuse should support it as well), OR
- Compile your own version of xen (and probably the kernel as well), OR
- use phy:/, or stuck with file:/
