I've tested only with linear targets, so I suppose it's needed to
check what kind of target(s) we have.

There were various issues with your patch that I cleaned up, please see
the following.

But I'm left skeptical that this is enough.  Don't targets need to
explicitly handle these REQ_OP_SECURE_ERASE requests?  Similar to how
REQ_OP_DISCARD is handled?

I'd feel safer about having targets opt-in with setting (a new)
ti->num_secure_erase_bios.

Which DM target(s) have you been wanting to pass REQ_OP_SECURE_ERASE
bios?

Subject: [PATCH] dm table: add support for secure erase forwarding

Set QUEUE_FLAG_SECERASE in DM device's queue_flags if a DM table's
data devices support secure erase.
