OK, so that's not quite what I had in mind. If we first do this as a
preparatory patch:

http://git.kernel.dk/?p=linux-2.6-block.git;a=commit;h=42fd769da4edadad83a779867ff1910ec35c6de7

then the discard fix becomes this one-liner:

http://git.kernel.dk/?p=linux-2.6-block.git;a=commit;h=999ae79ae7f853bb9e60e95753ebf8d1628e632a
