Don't require the discard-alignment xenstore node to be present in order to correctly setup the feature. This can happen with versions of QEMU that only write the discard-granularity but not the discard-alignment node. Assume discard-alignment is 0 if not present. While there also fix the logic to not enable the discard feature if discard-granularity is not present.

This would mean that "discard-secure" will be evaluated only if the other two items are set in Xenstore. From blkif.h I can't see this is required, and your patch is modifying today's behavior in this regard. You might want to have three xenbus_read_unsigned() calls instead. Juergen
