Thin Provisioning support is being added to QEMU. Some configurations already work - virtio-scsi on a block device or raw file supports discard, for example. Linux recently got Zero Blocks support in the form of the BLKZEROOUT ioctl. It is not being exploited by QEMU or libvirt yet. Copy Offload, not aware of active development. Perhaps libvirt or libstoragemgmt will support it.
