Currently, in CloudStack, only one job per VM can be active (in execution) at any given point of time. Here, for concurrent volume snapshots of same VM, all these snapshot operations are considered to be the same VM work jobs and would be in queue. Once an active volume snapshot job is done, the next one is picked up for execution.
The PR https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/1897 supports multiple snapshots of the same VM for XenServer. KVM not tested. I'll rebase the code with the latest master.
