Done. Thoroughly studied [apollon]'s Shared Storage patchset for Ganeti.
Disks will not be provisioned outside Ganeti and then passed to it (many syncronization and race condition problems occur, since there is not yet a clear interface implementation as proposed by apollon in his design doc). We will extend Ganeti to handle rbd devices as another EXT_MIRROR disk type. Implementation of a clear interface (such as the ganeti-os-interface) should be considered on upcoming releases.
Created a new "rbd" disk template, that enables Ganeti to create/remove/failover/migrate instances whose disks reside inside a RADOS cluster. Tested and works. For more (including corner case known defects) see #1512.

'rbd' disk template pushed for inclusion to Ganeti master, closing.
