Sheepdog doesn't assume the underlying virtualization technology. 
Sheepdog just provide a storage solution for VM (whether it is Xen or 
KVM enabling). As far as I know, Xen uses a very ancient Qemu that is 
supposed to model the device. KVM also use qemu as it is device model, 
but it is almost latest upstream and sheepdog block driver was accepted 
into qemu above 0.13(?) if I remember correctly.

Anyway, Both Xen and KVM use qemu as its device model. So backporting 
sheepdog driver would be not a big deal.

Thanks,
