We have all the granularity and alignment information avilable and
keeping track of it is simple enough.  Yes md/dm will need to update
the first aligned unmap sector, but they'll also need to update the
first aligned LBA for I/O purposes and adding more more is simple
enough.

Given that these bits are in the standard vendors will use them sooner
or later and I'd rather be prepared if it's simple enough.
