Excellent, thanks. I've forwarded upstream.

There is currently no netback in the pvops dom0 kernel so this isn't
expected to work yet.

ca01? What sort of guest is it?

Blkback devices work OK for me with PV Linux guests so I think the dom0
side is broadly OK but it is possible a different guest might expose
something different.

There is currently no blktap in pvops kernel so that wouldn't be
expected to work.

For a pvops kernel the console device is called hvc0 not xvc0.
