XVA is a tar archive.
I don't think would be possible to directly use the image stored inside
without extracting and merging each chunks
Any random reads would be impossible to do, only a huge sequential dump to
build the raw image
Well, you can't just add support to qemu-img alone either. Every image
format supported by qemu-img is one supported by qemu as a whole and
thus needs a proper block driver that needs to support random accesses
as well.
