similar to: [PATCH v4] virtio_blk: add DISCARD and WRIET ZEROES commands support

Existing virtio-blk protocol doesn't have DISCARD/WRITE ZEROES command support, this will impact the performance when using SSD backend over file systems. The idea here is using 16 Bytes payload as one descriptor for DISCARD/WRITE ZEROES command, users can put several ranges into one command, for the purpose to support such feature, two feature flags

Hi Daniel, Other than crosvm, is there any version of qemu (e.g., repositories developed in progress on github) where I can try with this feature? Thank you very much!

This patch enables support for discard and write zeroes in the virtio-blk driver

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, define 16 bytes discard descriptor for each discard
