Well, it depends on what you mean by
"production".  Certainly the ZFS on Linux
group has said in some forums that it is
"production ready", although I would say
that their definition is not exactly the
same as what I mean by the term.

There is bhyve, and virt-manager can
support bhyve in later versions (but is
disabled by default as I recall).  Not
exactly the same, of course.

Anyone who really cares about their data
wants ZFS.  Some just do not yet know
that they (should) want it.

There is always Illumos/OnmiOS/SmartOS
to consider (depending on your particular
requirements) which can do ZFS and KVM.
