You might try looking at the website http://wiki.osdev.org/UEFI
Towards the bottom there is a Makefile example of creating disk images without
root permission

Perhaps you could add an entry to /etc/fstab with the 'user' option.
It would allow the mounting of a file with a specific name, looped back to a
specific mount point. (Assuming you can set up loopback mounts in /etc/fstab.)
It may be possible to set enough restrictions in the fstab entry (noexec,
nodev, etc.) to prevent this from being a gigantic security hole.
(The actual safe way would be to write a setuid program that is given the basic
formatting specifications, creates an empty filesystem, and mounts that. That
way the user can't put anything into the disk image file beforehand that would
compromise security.)
