[PATCH] linux: Allow actually using CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_TAP=m

[PATCH] linux: Allow actually using CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_TAP=m

[Jan Beulich]

Again, this got broken. It would be really nice if regression testing
included building as a module everything that can be configured as
such...

As usual, written and tested against 2.6.23 and made apply against
2.6.18 without further testing.

  I recently discovered that the Linux build process has some
 new options these days.  Most useful and relevant here is:

    make allmodconfig
    make bzImage

  The first one attempts to build *everything* as a module.  There
 are other targets as described in the top-level README which are
 new - or at least new to me..
