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.
