Currently virtio-blk driver does not provide discard feature flag, so the filesystems which built on top of the block device will not send discard command. This is okay for HDD backend, but it will impact the performance for SSD backend. Add a feature flag VIRTIO_BLK_F_DISCARD and command VIRTIO_BLK_T_DISCARD to extend exist virtio-blk protocol. virtio-blk protocol uses a single 8 bytes descriptor containing type,reserved and sector, currently Linux uses the reserved field as IO priority, here we also re-use the reserved field as number of discard sectors.

Please add configuration space fields for these limits. Looking at the virtio-scsi block limits code in QEMU's scsi_disk_emulate_inquiry() I can see that the hypervisor has useful values that it wants to communicate. They shouldn't be hardcoded to blk_size.

DISCARD commands have no io priority? Perhaps it's better to add an extended header.
