virtio-blk is a block driver, it's the file system that needs to
support it.  NFS 4.2 actually does support a subset of the fallocate
functionality, but the spec isn't finished yet and thus usually
not turned on by default.

That being said: EOPNOTSUPP is a common return value for fallocate
and should be expected at any time.
