No, I don't expect direct solvers will work, but it should be possible
to use with a Krylov solver. Kent knows about this.

When I look at it now, BlockMatrix does not inherit from any of the
KrylovMatrix base classes so it won't work with any of the solvers.
Kent has his own GMRES/CG implementation in Python which uses the
mult() operator provided by BlockMatrix. Maybe Kent can elaborate on
this (and the code)?

Moving this to dolfin-dev.
