That would be great! KVM on openbsd. The joyent folks did it with
illumos/opensolaris based smartos. I would think a port to OpenBSD would be
possible.

As now qemu has direct support for glusterfs (a distributed
filesystem) and glusterfs daemon[1] should run on any Unix-like OS
you can have OpenBSD-based cloud too :D For glusterfs is that you
won't be able to mount it on OpenBSD as other posix filesystem
as there's neither support nor FUSE-like workaround.

You can of course try to "port" KVM to OpenBSD, hehe.
