Conghui Chen 2ddd24e022 dm: storage: support discard command
Support DISCARD command is meaningful when eMMC usage is high or
there are lots of remove operations. For example, when Guest
Android is running, there will be lots of files being created and
removed. However, virtio-blk BE does not support DISCARD command,
data remove operation in UOS will not trigger erase in eMMC. After
period of time, the eMMC will be consumed out, and erase must be
done by eMMC firmware before writing any new data. This causes the
eMMC performance decrease in the whole system (SOS and UOS).
To solve the problem, DISCARD should be supported in virtio-blk BE.

ACRN Device Model
#################

Introduction
============
The ACRN Device Model provides **device sharing** capabilities between the
Service OS and Guest OSs. It is a component that is used in conjunction with
the `ACRN Hypervisor`_ and this is installed within the Service OS. You can
find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_ website.
