Using blktap2/blktap3 under KVM?

Hi,

I was wondering whether it is possible to use blktap2 or blktap3 (from
the tools of Xen) as the block devices for KVM?

Both blktap2 and blktap3 are the tools from Xen as the block devices.
They are all outside of Xen. According to the blktap3 wiki page,
blktap3 even does not require any kernel support in Xen Dom0
(http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Blktap3). I also found an early discussion
that seems to indicate the workable combination of KVM with blktap2
(http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/xen/devel/263167).

If this is possible, is there any hints about how to configure to use
blktap2/blktap3 in KVM?

Thanks,
Zhuan
