There was talk of userland netback and blkback in xen 4.1 which use the 
gntdev interface which did make it into 2.6.38 (userland blkback 
apparently gives the similar performance as the kernel one, netback is 
not as good). I am not sure of the details though, nor how you might use 
them if they are available.
