ATM there are no plans to limit these quirks, we have bug
reports of queued trims being an issue over all usual chip-vendors
of sata controllers (including more recent AMD models).

Note that unless you have immediate "discard" enabled as an option
on all layers of your storage stack (dmcrypt, device-mapper/raid,
filesystem) then this change will not impact you at all.

Also note that AFAIK all major distros do not enable immediate
discard, instead relying on fstrim runs from a cronjob, which
again means this change will not impact users of those distros.

So chances are that your workload simply never triggered the issue;
and this is the cause of everything always having worked fine for
you.

Hans
