[dm-devel] [PATCH v2] dm: fix discard support in dm_io

This patch adds support for discard request to dm_io interface.

Currently dm_mirror can send REQ_DISCARD bios if running over
discard enabled device and without support in dm_io the system
crashes badly.

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00800000
