Please include a patch for the specification.  Since we are at it, I
would like to have three operations defined using the same descriptor:

- discard (SCSI UNMAP)

- write zeroes (SCSI WRITE SAME without UNMAP flag)

- write zeroes and possibly discard (SCSI WRITE SAME with UNMAP flag)

The last two can use the same command VIRTIO_BLK_T_WRITE_ZEROES, using
the reserved field as a flags field.
