yes

libvirt kludge (why is there no null-co/null-aio in libvirt?) looks like

  <qemu:commandline>
    <qemu:arg value='-drive'/>
    <qemu:arg value='driver=null-co,id=null8,if=none,size=100G'/>
    <qemu:arg value='-device'/>
    <qemu:arg value='virtio-blk-ccw,scsi=off,drive=null8,serial=null8,iothread=iothread1'/>
  </qemu:commandline>
