That does sound like the best option then. Would you mind proposing a nova patch?

The <shareable/> element was added back in 0.4.2 release (we're talking
about mid 2008). So I wouldn't fear of it. Here's an example XML taken
from one of our unit tests to show you how to use it:
<disk type='block' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/>
<source dev='/dev/HostVG/QEMUGuest1'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<shareable/>
<serial>XYZXYZXYZYXXYZYZYXYZY</serial>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>
