I'm only aware of one drive that currently

SSDs based upon the Indilinx Barefoot controller support
more or less "infinite" payload for TRIM, with no cap.
But it predates idword[105], so just has a zero there.
Is there an easy way to identify them? If so we could add a quirk
for them if it provides enough benefit.
Each brand/model identifies itself differently.
But we could start a whitelist on based on the model name field
from the ATA identify data.
The OCZ VERTEX drives I have here, identify themselves as "OCZ-VERTEX",
and accept very very long payloads (no limit?).
The OCZ VERTEX-LE drives here do have a limit, of 8 sectors,
and identify themselves as "OCZ VERTEX-LE" in that field.
That's what hdparm-9.30 uses to figure out the max TRIM payloads,
in the absence of a value in word 105.
