I think this should be ^^^ indented to match the other calls.

"only notify"?  Is someone getting a notification?  Or are we simply
"notifying" the device that it must ensure allocated blocks?

If it's that last one, then perhaps this should be reworded:

/*
 * Ensure the LBA range is backed by physical storage
 * without writing zeroes to the blocks.
 */
