For anyone living vicariously through my virtualized RHEV experiment:

1.  Get a life!

2.  The answers are YES and YES.  Once the virtio-scsi controller has
    been added to a guest by editing the XML, SCSI disks can be added
    through the virt-manager GUI.  And RHEV is perfectly happy to use a
    shared virtio-scsi disk as "Fibre Channel" storage.

It seems that there's no documentation on adding virtio-scsi *disks* out
there, because adding the controller is the only tricky part (for a very
small value of tricky).

Sometimes there's nothing left to do but crash and burn...or die trying.
