It’s layered, so the oVirt specifics are on top of the libvirt-based code. So the whole VM management functionality primarily works with libvirt VMs, and oVirt is “just” an extension in functionality and data presentation.
We first develop it with pure libvirt in mind, and then extend it with what oVirt can give us in addition.
Great thing about it is that every improvement to the generic code is beneficial for oVirt too, and we can selectively choose for which actions engine is required or not
