Hmm, it seems phy: based guest has that 'uname' aswell:

    (device
        (vbd
            (protocol x86_64-abi)
            (uuid b7c115d7-138a-5cd0-a179-3038ba49d349)
            (bootable 1)
            (devid 51712)
            (driver paravirtualised)
            (dev xvda:disk)
            (uname phy:/dev/vg_f12test/f12test)
            (mode w)
            (backend 0)
        )
    )

So I guess that's all fine.

What's the best way to troubleshoot the blktap2 problem?

I have 'blktap' module loaded in dom0, and xen 4.0.0-rc5 
should have the required blktap2 tools..
