[Sheepdog] libvirt integration

[Wido den Hollander]

Hi,

On the "TODO" list i saw a libvirt todo, but this doesn't have to be so
hard.

The "Ceph" guys made a patch where you can specify a "virtual" disk,
see:
http://ceph.newdream.net/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=84d6dd3687d291f19653b47570f35c005ced189f

When applying that patch to libvirt, you can specify a Sheepdog disk:

<disk type='virtual' device='disk'>
  <source path='sheepdog:Alice'/>
  <driver type='sheepdog'/>
  <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
</disk>

It's just a small patch, but it works for Ceph, might also work for Sheepdog (haven't tested it).
