well, there are two kinds of iotune for vm instance storage.
1. cgroup way:
as http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsBlockTuning described,
the <blkiotune> element should be configured under <domain>.

2. qemu way:
For some reason, qemu provides block iotune,
see http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDisks
This capability you used is implemented inside qemu.
