Libguestfs - Sep 2020 - Fwd: is there a way to set discard=unmap when using guestmount? (#52)

Subject: [libguestfs/libguestfs] is there a way to set discard=unmap when using
	guestmount? (#52)

I cannot find anything in the document. This option is very important for
dynamic qcow2 disks. Without out this the IO is super slow even on tmpfs only
3MB/s.

Not using guestmount, but it's possible to do it using the API directly and
therefore from guestfish, something like this:
```
guestfish <<EOF
add disk.img discard:unmap
run
mount /dev/sda /
mount-local /tmp/mp
mount-local-run
EOF
```
