I've developed more comprehensive WRITE SAME support for DM.  It can be
used in conjunction with Milan's patch (which enables Milan's patch to
go in too and be more easily tagged for v3.7 stable).

Anyway, my changes are available in the 'dm-write-same' branch of my
github tree: git://github.com/snitm/linux.git

See the top 5 commits: https://github.com/snitm/linux/commits/dm-write-same
(topmost needs to be folded, I'll do that when posting to dm-devel in
reply to this mail)
