yes indeed, iso is better.

I'll to look at this.

mounting with qemu-nbd is not really possible if you have a 
generic kvm VM (ufs, zfs, complex lvm setups, ...). I guess we 
should use the 'iso' approach for kvm. 

But it would be easy to do with lxc, as we already have the code to 
loop/qemu-nbd mount 
the root device.
