Two of them: UNMAP and WRITE_SAME, have been in Illumos (and therefore OmniOS) since 2011. The last two: XCOPY and ATS, were developed by Nexenta, and were open-sourced as part of their NexentaStor 4 release recently. These would need to be upstreamed in to illumos proper at some point. If you're feeling rambunctious, you can see what it takes to extract 'em from https://github.com/Nexenta/illumos-nexenta/ and upstream them into the main illumos-gate. These were tricky, as COMSTAR isn't the most robust code to begin with, but Nexenta's had real-world experience with all of the VAAI primitives.
