I accidentally found a way to do this using qemu-nbd. It's
not tested, but something like this should work:
qemu-nbd disk.img -o <offset> -t
qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b nbd:localhost:10809 /tmp/overlay
# and then run libguestfs as normal on /tmp/overlay
This is read-only (because of the overlay). However at the moment I'm
adding direct nbd support to libguestfs, so once committed it will be
able to access nbd exports in write mode.
