Mark, any chance to try it?  Just create an XFS filesystem, age it a
bit and then call the attached little trim.c program on the mountmoint
(or any file inside the filesystem for that matter)

Looking at it now.  Thanks, Christoph!
..

Fails to work on 64-bit kernel w/ 32-bit userspace (no compat ioctl).
Rebuilding with 32-bit kernel now..

The actual ioctl is compatible, just add the

	case XFS_IOC_TRIM:
		return xfs_ioc_trim(mp, arg);

to xfs_file_compat_ioctl().  I'll add this to the next spin of the patch.
..

Okay, this gives me ENOSYS now --> discard/trim support is missing from
the lower layers.

What other patches do I need to make this work?

The latest from Matthew's discard tree (May 2009) don't appear to be sufficient,
even after updating them for 2.6.31-rc6.
