My leak fixes have been tested extensively against all permuations of
devices with discards (ATA trim, SCSI UNMAP, SCSI WRTIE SAME w/ unmap=1).

I think we need to get Christoph's discard payload transformation
complete by fixing the leaks _without_ trying to rework how discard
commands are tagged, etc.  E.g. fix what Jens already has staged in
linux-2.6-block's 'for-next' and 'for-2.6.36'.

With that sorted out we can then look at longer term changes to cleanup
discard request processing.

Regards,
Mike
