Consult Wikipedia at least, if not the original ATA standards documents:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trim_(computing)#ATA
Can return "undefined", "something that is the same every time" or "zeroes".
Apparently the OS can query which is to be expected with a particular device,
but firstly, you can't necessarily trust that 100%, and secondly, that's
operating on a level lower (ATA) than where md is.
