Yeah that can be a good trick.

That doesn't meet my goal, though, of having a single disk image able
to boot both as container and kvm host (and physical host).

Which is particularly useful when dealing with something like openstack,
where Chuck now has a single image which is used to fire off both kvm
based and libvirt-lxc based images.
