The only reason for the distinction was for the special case of
'file' (which is assumed to be loopback device), was to reach inside
the loopback device, find the underlaying file, and call fallocate on it.
Fortunately "xen-blkback: convert hole punching to discard request on
loop devices" removes that use-case and we now based the discard
support based on blk_queue_discard(q) and extract all appropriate
parameters from the 'struct request_queue'.

Part of the blkdev_issue_discard(xx) operation is that it can also
issue a secure discard operation that will permanantly remove the
sectors in question. We advertise that we can support that via the
'discard-secure' attribute and on the request, if the 'secure' bit
is set, we will attempt to pass in REQ_DISCARD | REQ_SECURE.

We emulate the barrier requests by draining the outstanding bio's
and then sending the WRITE_FLUSH command. To drain the I/Os
we use the refcnt that is used during disconnect to wait for all
the I/Os before disconnecting from the frontend. We latch on its
value and if it reaches either the threshold for disconnect or when
there are no more outstanding I/Os, then we have drained all I/Os.

..aka ATA TRIM/SCSI UNMAP command to be passed through the frontend
and used as appropiately by the backend. We also advertise
certain granulity parameters to the frontend so it can plug them in.
If the backend is a realy device - we just end up using
'blkdev_issue_discard' while for loopback devices - we just punch
a hole in the image file.
