At least KVM can do that. If I understood correctly, you want a base disk for multiple VMs and the delta should be stored in separate disk, right?
I am using VDO (with gluster) under my storage, so any duplicate data is deduplicated (and if yiu enable compression - compressed) by VDO. Have you thought about VDO - it works with almost any block storage ?Of course both technology will reduce the I/O performance compared to raw storage. Also, let's see if actually oVirt has such option...
