After the install was done and the instance was sysprepped and configured appropriately, I shut it down, snapshotted it, and made an image from that. If you can do the Windows installation inside OpenStack instead of importing a VMDK from elsewhere, this should let you produce an instance that works correctly with QEMU/KVM virtio for storage and networking.

When I boot system, I can install drivers for second VirtIO volume and then I can launch system volume like VirtIO VDA without problems. I think that Windows install driver correctly with virtio volume attached.
