Hmm ... Since REQ_SECURE implied REQ_DISCARD doesn't this
mean that we should include REQ_OP_SECURE_ERASE checking
wherever REQ_OP_DISCARD is being checked now in drivers/scsi/sd.c ?

(It's only in 3 spots so it's a quickie patch)
SCSI doesn't support secure erase operations.  Only MMC really
supports it, plus the usual cargo culting in Xen blkfront that's
probably never been tested..
I left SCSI out because support does not exist at the moment.
However there is UFS which is seen as the replacement for eMMC.
And there is a patch to add support for BLKSECDISCARD:

So SCSI will need updating if that is to go in.
