It's likely that sheepdog could be made to work, and adding support
would probably be simple (particularly using the libvirt backend,
since libvirt already supports it).  However I have never tried it.

You would have to modify src/launch-libvirt.c so that it can create
sheepdog pools and/or volumes:
