Existing virtio-blk protocol doesn't have DISCARD/WRITE ZEROES commands
support, this will impact the performance when using SSD backend over
file systems.

Commit 88c85538 "virtio-blk: add discard and write zeroes features to
specification"(see https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec) extended
existing virtio-blk protocol, adding extra DISCARD and WRITE ZEROES
commands support.

While here, using 16 bytes descriptor to describe one segment of DISCARD
or WRITE ZEROES commands, each command may contain one or more decriptors.

The following data structure shows the definition of one descriptor:

struct virtio_blk_discard_write_zeroes {
        le64 sector;
        le32 num_sectors;
        le32 unmap;
};

Field 'sector' means the start sector for DISCARD and WRITE ZEROES,
filed 'num_sectors' means the number of sectors for DISCARD and WRITE
ZEROES, if both DISCARD and WRITE ZEROES are supported, field 'unmap'
maybe used for WRITE ZEROES command with DISCARD enabled.

We also extended the virtio-blk configuration space to let backend
device put DISCARD and WRITE ZEROES configuration parameters.

struct virtio_blk_config {
        [...]

        le32 max_discard_sectors;
        le32 max_discard_seg;
        le32 discard_sector_alignment;
        le32 max_write_zeroes_sectors;
        le32 max_write_zeroes_seg;
        u8 write_zeroes_may_unmap;
}

New feature bit [VIRTIO_BLK_F_DISCARD (13)]: Device can support discard
command, maximum discard sectors size in field 'max_discard_sectors' and
maximum discard segment number in field 'max_discard_seg'.

New feature [VIRTIO_BLK_F_WRITE_ZEROES (14)]: Device can support write
zeroes command, maximum write zeroes sectors size in field
'max_write_zeroes_sectors' and maximum write zeroes segment number in
field 'max_write_zeroes_seg'.

The parameters in the configuration space of the device field
'max_discard_sectors' and field 'discard_sector_alignment' are expressed in
512-byte units if the VIRTIO_BLK_F_DISCARD feature bit is negotiated. The
field 'max_write_zeroes_sectors' is expressed in 512-byte units if the
VIRTIO_BLK_F_WRITE_ZEROES feature bit is negotiated.

CHANGELOG:
v6: don't set T_OUT bit to discard and write zeroes commands.
