[dm-devel] [RFC PATCH 2/2] dm: add support for splitting discard requests

Enable the striped target to support discard requests by splitting a
single discard into N discards on a stripe chunk size boundary.

Follow on core block layer work to merge discards would be helpful.

This work relies on DM's clone_bio() always having BIO_RW_BARRIER set
for discard requests.  Without BIO_RW_BARRIER the block layer will spew
"blk: request botched" warnings for discards that were split by DM.
- this clearly needs further investigation!
