There is no kernel side in Squeeze so backporting the userspace side
will not work.

You could try backporting the blktap-dkms stuff from Sid/Wheezy along
with the associated blktap-utils. They were included for use with the
xapi toolstack but they might also work with others.

Long term upstream is working on a version of blktap with no requirement
for a kernel driver.
