On a side note, we aren't limited to libvirt-supported storage. KVMStoragePoolManager allows for multiple storage adaptors, so you can just add yours to the adaptor map in there and create a MyStorageAdaptor that implements the various methods like CreatePhysicalDisk, etc , similar to LibvirtStorageAdaptor. You would also have to tweak the XML stuff as well if it can't be connected via the existing raw or file based XML disk definitions.
