/*
 * 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
 * the underlying block-device hardware. The boolean simply indicates whether
 * 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-aligment' - 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.

/*
 * Recognized if "feature-max-indirect-segments" in present in the backend
 * xenbus info. The "feature-max-indirect-segments" node contains the maximum
 * number of segments allowed by the backend per request. If the node is
 * present, the frontend might use blkif_request_indirect structs in order to
 * issue requests with more than BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST (11). The
 * maximum number of indirect segments is fixed by the backend, but the
 * frontend can issue requests with any number of indirect segments as long as
 * it's less than the number provided by the backend. The indirect_grefs field
 * in blkif_request_indirect should be filled by the frontend with the
 * grant references of the pages that are holding the indirect segments.
 * These pages are filled with an array of blkif_request_segment that hold the
 * information about the segments. The number of indirect pages to use is
 * determined by the number of segments an indirect request contains. Every
 * indirect page can contain a maximum of
 * (PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(struct blkif_request_segment)) segments, so to
 * calculate the number of indirect pages to use we have to do
 * ceil(indirect_segments / (PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(struct blkif_request_segment))).
