The libxl driver was setting the backend field of libxl_device_disk structure to LIBXL_DISK_BACKEND_TAP when the driver element of disk configuration was not specified. This needlessly forces the use of blktap driver, which may not be loaded in dom0 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=912488 Ian Campbell suggested that LIBXL_DISK_BACKEND_UNKNOWN is a better default in this case https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-February/msg01126.html
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
