Pkg xen devel - Mar 2014 - Bug#742515: blktap-dkms: blktapblktap kernel module failed to build

Package: blktap-dkms
Version: 2.0.93-0.1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

blktap fails to build on kernel 3.13 and probably older kernels as well. 
According to this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blktap-dkms/+bug/1245009 VM_RESERVED
is deprecated as of 3.7.  Building with the patch described in that bug allows
for blktap to build properly.
