As discussed at LSF/MM, let's explicitly separate the exported/ioctl()
functions from the __/do_foo_bar iterators. That's essentially what you
have done. And then put all error handling and policy in the ioctl()
wrappers instead of the worker functions.

I'd prefer to do the EOPNOTSUPP mapping for the ioctl here instead of in
the do_blkdev_issue_discard() function. Then you don't need the
ignore_nosupport flag.

There should not be a "soft" fail for WRITE SAME, it's not a hint.
