Using the TRIM / discard option on an NFS backed virtual disk in Red Hat OpenStack Platform

Solution https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2532341 describes how to enable TRIM / Discard in an OpenStack KVM instance. Does this solution work on cinder NetApp volumes in NFS shares provisioned by NetApp cinder driver?
