This setting needs to be reviewed once hchs zero-out patches are in.
Thing is, we need to properly differentiate between 'discard' and
'zero-out'. Unfortunately ATM the libata stack only implements a
translation for 'write_same', which is then mapped onto DSM TRIM.
So the 'write_discard_zeroes' is even incorrect for current libata usage.
Cheers,
Hannes
