But what does physical range mean in this context? The address space
presented to the user and which FITRIM operates on is the logical
address space that the extent tree uses. For allocated chunks, there's
a mapping to physical devices. It can have holes in it. What does it
mean when that offset/length hits a hole?

I'm okay with (0,-1) referring to all the space on all devices. That
seems obvious enough. Perhaps for bounded trims, it only applies to the
parts within the range that are allocated?
