dm-ioband seems to work with the new kernels (2.6.31). We are still using 2.6.18.8 and reluctant to upgrade to a new kernel.
Can dm-ioband work with older kernels?

As for iscsi or nfs, the general rule would be that nfs is easier, but
you need a high-performance nfs server to get decent performance
(NetApp comes to mind).
If you've already tried nfs and not satisfied with its performance,
then you shoud try iscsi. Each domU storage exported as a block
device, imported on dom0 ,and use /dev/disk/by-path/* in domU config.
It should give simple-enough (e.g. no cluster fs required) setup,
decent performance, and it's still possible to control disk I/O
priority and bandwitdh.
