TL;DR: Ack, they should be removed.

IIRC these blktap modules worked with the XCP toolstack but have
diverged from the blktap shipped with Xen itself and are therefore
incompatible with e.g. the xl toolstack. So in the absence of XCP I
don't think it makes much sense to keep these around and you may as well
remove them.
