ovirt is the obvious choice, it's popular and built around libvirt and kvm,
available in Fedora, etc. But like you say I believe it expects you to have
the same OS/base image running on each host, not sure on this point though.
But the UI and infrastructure is built explicitly to handle things with 100+
hosts, so it's worth taking another look.
