That said, now that we have REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES (where the LBS is

I had a series to remove it a while ago, but you wanted to keep it at
that point. I can resurrect it.
Do you mean to remove the `blkdev_issue_write_same` interface?
I think we should fix the problem first because other users may also encounter
the same problem.
