I'm setting docs_scoped- on this based on the available state but if things change, particularly if this is as suggested switched based on a configuration flag, we'll need to re-evaluate.

The code upstream for this feature has it disabled by default and a config option to enable it.  ( https://review.openstack.org/#/c/39498/12/etc/nova/nova.conf.sample )

Eric, 
To my understanding we need to configure glance to work with a gluster mount and run instances from the image? 

Please specify if we need to specify any configuration in glance and libvirt as well as qemu to allow such configuration.

This is a Cinder/Nova feature and doesn't affect Glance.  If qemu_allowed_storage_drivers is set to "gluster" in Nova, Nova will use libgfapi when attaching Gluster Cinder volumes.

see bug 1020979 for configuration

This RFE is blocked by 1020979 - we cannot attach the volume when using libgfapi
