When you give qemu-kvm a partition to use as disk for a guest, it does

You may be able to do what you want by attaching a whole disk to the
guest, instead of just the partition.
I've often thought that it should be possible to cook something up with
device manager -- essentially creating a "wrapper" that provides a MBR,
etc. around a Windows logical volume or partition. Might be a fun
project for someone.
I'm sure its possible to do that but it may require some hack of
presenting a the original MBR as some type of shadow one for the guest
or other trick. Ric, have you played w/ it?
Caveat 2: You of course already know this, but Windows is not designed
to be run in this configuration (same installation runs physical as well
as virtual), so you may run into unexpected issues, even if you get it
to work.
The biggest issue I would expect would be constant requests to
"reactivate" the Windows VM/system.
Right. Some versions of windows license (VLK) ignore that too.
