Can anyone point me in the right direction for setting up Nova so that
it allocates disk space on RBD device(s) rather than on local disk as
defined in the --instances_path flag?

I've already got nova-volume working with RBD.

I suspect that I need to modify _cache_image and _create_image in
nova/virt/libvirt/connection.py.
