Releasing deleted blocks from a sparse ZVOL used by bhyve guest

Hi Folks,
I'm attempting to use a sparse ZVOL from a FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE host as a data disk for a bhyve FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE guest that in turn uses this device as the source for a ZFS filesystem. When I delete data from the filesystem on the guest this is reflected in its used space, but not in the ZVOL on the host. I've read suggestions that the use of a block driver that supports TRIM or SCSi unmap is crucial such as virtio-scsi, but from what I can tell my vm-bhyve implementation is using virtio - certainly the disk1_type parameter in the configuration file has a value of "virtio-blk".
Can anyone confirm this is indeed the issue and whether it is possible to switch to the relevant driver? Or am I barking up the wrong tree altogether?
