This is the first ever project that ports Android OS into an image that can be used to create Android virtual machines running on Openstack clouds with full virtualisation support. Currently we only support Android 4.4 Kitkat 64bit distribution.

Instructons on how to create the image yourself: http://thisismyeye.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/enabling-virtio-drivers-on-kernel-for.html
