Hi, Christoph
We got a user requirement: support BLKSECDISCARD in VM. Which is:
ioctl(BLKSECDISCARD) in guest -> qemu backend perform secure discard
on native block device accordingly.
This is a requirement to meet the security level of the project.
So I sent out these patches to see whether qemu could accept such changes.
