It works.  :)

I'm using TRIM on a 120GB OCZ Vertex SSD here now,
and instrumented ata_discard_fn() to log what it does.
Seems to work perfectly, and the sector ranges for TRIM
match those given by "hdparm --fibmap" for the files I've tried.

Does this also TRIM metadata (eg. block bitmaps and the like) ?

Thanks Matthew (and others).
