I had to make a few cleanup changes before I could merge this into the
master branch.

1) unix_discard() was defined as a macro in the !__linux__ case.
Since unix_discard() gets used to fill in a function pointer in the
io_channel_ops structure, this would have caused non-linux compiles to
break.

2) I added a io_channel_discard() function which checks to see if
io_channel->discard is non-NULL before dereferencing the function
pointer (you had mke2fs and e2fsck blindly dereferencing the function
pointer before checking to see if it was non-NULL; this is bad,
because not all io_managers, in particular, not the test_io manager in
your patches, support discard).

3) I added support for discard to the test_io manager, which makes
debugging much easier (just compile with --enable-testio-debug, and
then set the TEST_IO_FLAGS environment variable).

4) There was no need to pass the block size to the discard function.
The blocksize is part of the io_channel abstraction, and is stored in
the channel structure.

The resulting patch looked like this.

    e2fsprogs: Add discard function into struct_io_manager
    
    In order to provide generic "discard" function for all e2fsprogs tools
    add a discard function prototype into struct_io_manager. Specific
    function for specific io managers can be crated that way.
    
    This commit also creates unix_discard function which uses BLKDISCARD
    ioctl to discard data blocks on the block device and bind it into
    unit_io_manager structure to be available for all e2fsprogs tools.
    Note that BLKDISCARD is still Linux specific ioctl, however other
    unix systems may provide similar functionality. So far the
    unix_discard() remains linux specific hence is embedded in #ifdef
    __linux__ macro.
