We already did, with sheepdog (well the RAID code is really outside qemu
itself).

The magic word is btrfs, we already have atomic live copy outside qemu
('cp --reflink'). If you also want an atomic switch you have to move it
inside qemu so you can switch to the new file.
Using one of the Linux RAID-1 implementations (md, dm, or drbd) is also
possible but these are really designed for block devices, not files.
