The granularity of WRITE SAME is always 1 logical block and there is no
reason to round it down to the next power of two.

+/*
+ * Ensure that max discard sectors doesn't overflow bi_size and hopefully

+#define MAX_DISCARD_SECTORS ((1U << 31) >> 9)

That's fine for SATA since we're already capping at 2TB minus change.
But it means we'll be capping unnecessarily on SCSI. And larger range
counts are impending in SATA as well.

So this goes back to my original comment: The only place there can be a
discard granularity is for SCSI UNMAP. And consequently, we should only
enforce alignment and granularity when that code path is taken in sd.c.

I'm OK with Ming's patch series in general. Let's leave the discard cap
at UINT_MAX and I'll twiddle the rest in SCSI.
