In this new mode, sequential trims and writes are interspersed by first doing a trim at a particular offset, then doing writes starting from that offset until the start of the next trim block, then another trim, etc. This workload is designed to match the requirements of NAND flash, if trims are implemented as erases.
At first I found this a little confusing, but now I get it. It's a bit different to what other mixed workloads would be. Perhaps rename it to 'trimwrite'? Also needs adding to the man page and HOWTO.
