A number of hypervisors have a mode in which changes made to storage

this functionality something that is interesting to libvirt?

From the point of view of "giving options to end users" then it
probably should be.
To implement in QEMU/KVM, it sounds like it could be done by using a
snapshot(s), plus nuking the snapshot when the vm is shut down?
