Yes, new modules can be easily added. You can see API documentation in
linked github issue (will be moved to qubes-doc later). Also adding
fs-based module should be quite easy, because we have also 'file'
storage module, for handling file based VM images. Should be easy to
build btrfs or zfs module based on it.
