Sorry about letting this slip through the cracks.

I had a look and I think if you just changed the dm-table.c hunk of this
3rd patch to allow DM to override the stacking then we'd be good (some
targets aren't to allow discard even if their component devices would
allow it when stacked), so something like:

diff --git a/drivers/md/dm-table.c b/drivers/md/dm-table.c
