It really is a pity^W^Wannoying that there's no manual page for FITRIM,
because I have no idea if this is the right or desired behavior for this
ioctl.

Do the other filesystems update @minlen so that userspace knows the
granularity?

As far as I checked ext4, f2fs, Btrfs did so, I think it makes sense we
return this value to userspace, we'd better to doc it somewhere 'man fstrim'?

thanks,
Shilong
