Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Add ioctl FITRIM.

Adds an filesystem independent ioctl to allow implementation of file
system batched discard support. It takes an array of three uint64_t
as an argument, the meaning of each item is as follows:

array[0] - (start) first Byte to trim
array[1] - (len) number of Bytes to trim from start
array[2] - (minlen) minimum extent length to trim, free extents shorter
than this number of Bytes will be ignored. This number will be rounded
up to the block size.

It is also possible to specify NULL as an argument. In this case the
arguments will set itself as follows:

args[0] = 0;
args[1] = LLONG_MAX;
args[2] = 0;

So it will trim the whole file system at one run.
