UINT_MAX >> 9 is not power of 2 and it causes dm-thinp discard fails.

At the lengthy discussion:
[PATCH v5 01/11] block: make generic_make_request handle arbitrarily sized bios
We agreed to cap discard to 2G as an interim solution for 4.3 until the
dm-thinp discard code is rewritten.

Will the dm-thinp discard rewritten ready for 4.4?

Thanks,
Ming
