Why modify a local utility program like this?  There's little point
in trying to match some other utilities' command line parameters
just for the sake of it...

If we have duplicate code (i.e. a copy of the upstream utility) or
the local tool can be completely replaced by the upstream tool,
then we should use upstream and remove the local copy completely.
Distros have been shipping fstrim for long enough now that most
people running testing on upstream kernels will have it installed...

Adding a _require_fstrim() function that checks for the upstream
version of fstrim to be installed for each test that requires it
would go along with this.

Cheers,

Dave.
