+ * Recognised only if "feature-discard" is present in backend xenbus info.
+ * The "feature-discard" node contains a boolean indicating whether trim
+ * (ATA) or unmap (SCSI) - conviently called discard requests are likely
+ * to succeed or fail. Either way, a discard request
+ * may fail at any time with BLKIF_RSP_EOPNOTSUPP if it is unsupported by

+ * or not it is worthwhile for the frontend to attempt discard requests.
+ * If a backend does not recognise BLKIF_OP_DISCARD, it should *not*
+ * create the "feature-discard" node!
+ *
+ * Discard operation is a request for the underlying block device to mark
+ * extents to be erased. However, discard does not guarantee that the blocks
+ * will be erased from the device - it is just a hint to the device
+ * controller that these blocks are no longer in use. What the device
+ * controller does with that information is left to the controller.
+ * Discard operations are passed with sector_number as the
+ * sector index to begin discard operations at and nr_sectors as the number of
+ * sectors to be discarded. The specified sectors should be discarded if the
+ * underlying block device supports trim (ATA) or unmap (SCSI) operations,
+ * or a BLKIF_RSP_EOPNOTSUPP should be returned.
+ * More information about trim/unmap operations at:
+ * http://t13.org/Documents/UploadedDocuments/docs2008/
+ * e07154r6-Data_Set_Management_Proposal_for_ATA-ACS2.doc
+ * http://www.seagate.com/staticfiles/support/disc/manuals/
+ * Interface%20manuals/100293068c.pdf
+ * The backend can optionally provide three extra XenBus attributes to
+ * further optimize the discard functionality:
+ * 'discard-alignment' - Devices that support discard functionality may
+ * internally allocate space in units that are bigger than the exported
+ * logical block size. The discard-alignment parameter indicates how many bytes
+ * the beginning of the partition is offset from the internal allocation unit's
+ * natural alignment.
+ * 'discard-granularity' - Devices that support discard functionality may
+ * internally allocate space using units that are bigger than the logical block
+ * size. The discard-granularity parameter indicates the size of the internal
+ * allocation unit in bytes if reported by the device. Otherwise the
+ * discard-granularity will be set to match the device's physical block size.
+ * 'discard-secure' - All copies of the discarded sectors (potentially created
+ * by garbage collection) must also be erased. To use this feature, the flag
+ * BLKIF_DISCARD_SECURE must be set in the blkif_request_trim.

+ * present, the frontend might use blkif_request_indirect structs in order to
+ * issue requests with more than BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST (11). The
