As a matter of interest, modern xen provides the qemu device model in
which case .qcow2 files are directly usable by Xen. Indeed we are using
the Ubuntu cloud images for exactly that. I am told that it works fine
under Xen 4.1 (but minus some of the fancy live snapshotting), and fine
under Xen 4.2
Note also modern xen comes with qemu-img included. This is from xen
upstream's 'make deb' option:
amb@DBS:~/xen/xen4.2/xen-4.2.0$ dpkg -c ./dist/xen-upstream-4.2.0.deb | fgrep
qemu-img
-rwxr-xr-x root/root 1462009 2012-10-24 15:05 ./usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-img
-rwxr-xr-x root/root163448
