This ends up breaking discard on NVMe devices for a me. An mkfs.xfs
which does a discard of the whole device now hangs the system.
Something in here makes it send discard command that the device doesn't
like and the aborts don't seem to help either, although that might be
an issue with the abort handling in the driver.
Just a heads up for now, once I get a bit more time I'll try to collect
a blktrace to figure out how the commands sent to the driver look
different before and after the patch.
