while scriptable, its been made an api in 3.3 (which allows to easily 
extend the scheduler, until such features are incorporated into mainline 
codebase as out of the box):
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/oVirt_scheduler
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/oVirtSchedulerAPI

its also going to be covered here tomorrow:
http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2013-August/015936.html

(other than that - yes, above feature is positive/negative vm affinity 
for scheduling and should be on the list)
