this hook should cover all you need, but not considered a good practice 
to use hooks on ovirt-node today (mike, any change here)?
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/9225/

you can use a regular fedora as a host and deploy this hook as an rpm to 
it (using regular fedora is more flexible than ovirt node for some things)
