I've posted the Xen hypervisor ABI one that thread above. The implementation
of that looks as follow:
commit ae33f998d66c5982af533bda25c2b6c4f863789f

xen/blk[front|back]: Enhance discard support with secure erasing support.
Part of the blkdev_issue_discard(xx) operation is that it can also
issue a secure discard operation that will permanantly remove the
sectors in question. We advertise that we can support that via the
'discard-secure' attribute and on the request, if the 'secure' bit
is set, we will attempt to pass in REQ_DISCARD | REQ_SECURE.
CC: Li Dongyang <lidongyang@...ell.com>
[v1: Used 'flag' instead of 'secure:1' bit]
[v2: Use 'reserved 'uint8_t' as a flag]
