Milan (cc'd) is more well-versed with dm-crypt.  Though we likely need
to audit DM relative to WRITE SAME too (will do once I understand what
added safety/constraints are needed).

But do we know mount to somwhow be issuing WRITE SAME requests?  Martin,
why is it you weren't able to reproduce (I haven't attempted yet)?
