Pardon my cursory review, but I don't see where this

It doesn't.

If it still does not group many extents into a single TRIM,
then it will be far to slow to be useful at all for SATA.

That depends on the firmware.  I do have plans to group the extents,
but let's get something working before making it quick.

In this situation, it's more a case of making it *not sucky slow*
than getting to the point where we think about making it "quick".

One extent at a time is glacial.
