I would like to spend some time reviewing where we stand with the discard
support - specifically review where we do in the stack (creation time,
fine-grained during deletions, other bulk times), how the options perform and
any performance results we have with various classes of devices (SCSI and SSD).

Similar interest in how the topology/alignment support has worked out.

Both topics took a lot of effort on our part and I expect that we are just now
going to be hitting the point where hardware vendors take us seriously enough &
are starting to test....
