The 'Deallocate Logical Block Features' bits 0 and 1 only tell what
is read back from deallocated logic blocks, but it does not guarantee
that all blocks a DSM deallocate is called on are actually deallocated.

That being said I really don't want to add more 'feature hacks' like this,
it is time that we go back to a proper Write Zeroes implementation.
