I had this nice feeling of missing some detail but I didn't have time to think
about it too much since I was rushing to get all changes integrated for the last
pre -rc1 pull request.  Now it is late due to premature TRIM support... :)

However it is not all that bad since we can just leave things as they are for
now and disable TRIM support until block changes get merged with patch below.
