KVM has the support, but there is a problem with the storage. Snapshotting a disk is simple, that's supported by QCOW2, LVM, RBD, etc. But when you want to snapshot a VirtualMachine you have to store the memory contents somewhere. That is something that hasn't been worked out. Do you create a additional 'disk' for storing the memory contents? That's the barriers I currently know for implementing it.
