I suppose you speak about the use case of XEN/kvm using and inside of it qemu ?

For XEN I solved this by defining the loop module as to be loaded as default in 
initrd.

We still use the kernel and initrd from the worker host and not the kernel from 
the build target.
(The reason for this is that most of our build targets don't have a good enough 
working kernel in VM).
