IOWS: your commit log says what, but not why.
Will upload a version with some more "why".

You're adding a new high-level IOCTL, so let's get a bit more
visibility than just linux-ext4; linux-fsdevel cc'd.
Wasn't too sure about that one, because I didn't feel like committing
to other FSes for now even if they do have FITRIM.
Will remember to include them.
You don't need to implement it for other filesystems, but whether or
not this should be a new fs-level ioctl is something worth airing
out on linux-fsdevel.

Thanks,
