Hmm.  That was kinda the reason why I didn't want to post stuff yet.  In
current mainline only MTD implements the prepare_discard_fn, and we'll
need it implemented and working.  I think Matthews patches should be
sufficient, unless they have some ATA revision check to not issue the
TRIM for your device.
