I suspect that Thanos meant the blktap kernel driver rather than
blkback.
This is a completely userspace implementation of blktap, the fact that
you don't need to layer blkback on top of it is largely incidental.
This certainly doesn't aim to replace blkback, they both serve different
use cases (essentially speed vs flexibility).
