With libxl supporting blktap/vbd3, we can switch from backendtype=phy to backendtype=tap. When doing so, the target= no longer needs an tap:/aio: prefix, but the format= needs to convey the information. backendtype=phy is still required for LVM partitions, so a little more care is needed for specifying it.
