I actually thought I had submitted those patches as part of the thin
provisioning update. Looks like I held them back for some reason. I'll
check my notes to figure out why and get the kit merged forward ASAP!

I hadn't thought of that use case. Going to be a bit tricky given how
GET LBA STATUS works...

What's new in ACS-3 (t13.org ATA Command Set):
.....
  f10138r6 Adds the ability for the device to return a
           list of the LBAs that are currently trimmed.

So it looks like t13.org are adding a GET LBA STATUS type facility.
That in turn should lead to a SAT-3 (SCSI to ATA Translation)
definition of a mapping between both facilities.
