Subject: [PATCH] Xen block improvements for 3.3 [secure-discard flag](v1)

Way back in 3.2 time-frame we worked out some of these patches and how
to improve the code. I don't think I had posted them after we chatted
about what to do or how to do it...

Either way, posting them here to kick-start the conversation and
see if we can improve these patches some more. I've been running
with these patches for some time now so I am quite confident that I got
the 32-bit to 64-bit structure padding worked out.

(Ran it with old guests/new guests/32-bit/64-bit/Linux/Windows
combination. Around 18 different scenarios).

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk (3):
      xen/blk[front|back]: Squash blkif_request_rw and blkif_request_discard together
      xen/blk[front|back]: Enhance discard support with secure erasing support.
      xen/blkback: Move processing of BLKIF_OP_DISCARD from dispatch_rw_block_io

Li Dongyang (1):
      xen-blkback: convert hole punching to discard request on loop devices
