Adding these is going to be very useful.

Just a nit: Please use either ZEROOUT (or WRITE_ZEROES) and SECURE_ERASE
terminology for the additional operations when you add them.

DISCARDZEROES is obsolete and secure discard has been replaced by secure
erase. We are stuck with the legacy ioctl names but we should avoid
perpetuating unfortunate naming choices from the past.
