Ok, i have found needed info, i can do what i need with following xml
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
   <source file='/path/to/file'/>
   <target dev='sda' removable='on' bus='usb'/>
   <readonly/>
</disk>

but image required to be valid disk with mbr, i have implemented code to 
create it for me from files, but it's another story.
