QEMU supports detect-zeroes option since version 2.1, but we never added support for it in libvirt. If was requested by Vasiliy Tolstov in the list, so I just added it. There are two discussions to be had, optionally. One is to decide whether we should disable detect_zeros='unmap' if discard is not set to 'unmap', but this is getting very hypervisor-specific, so I just documented the behaviour. The other one is the naming. I described why I made the decision for "zeros" instead of "zeroes" the decision in the patch, but I have no problem changing it to what others like better.
