BTW, I just noticed your "block: require write_same and discard requests
align to logical block size" -- doesn't look right.

But maybe I'm just too hyper-focused on DM thinp's needs (which would
much prefer these checks be done in terms of minimum_io_size, rather
than logical_block_size, and _not_ assuming power-of-2 math will work).

But at least for discard: your lbs-based check is fine; since we have
discard_granularity to cover thinp's more specific requirements.
