Good point!

Discard and Zeroing will be treated in a unit of block, which is 4KB
in F2FS case.
Do you really need the (offset, length) option here even if the unit
is a 4KB block? I guess this option might make the user even
inconvenienced to use this ioctl, because they have to bear 4KB
alignment in mind.
