In fact, I just discovered thanks to 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1884831 that NBD is a case of a 
client that can currently pass values larger than 2G into 
blk_co_pdiscard() which in turn appears as a negative value and instant 
EIO failure.  So this is a bug fix visible to NBD clients.

$ gdb --args ./qemu-nbd --trace=nbd_\* -f raw f --port 10810
...
(gdb) b blk_co_pdiscard
(gdb) r
...
$ nbdsh -u nbd://localhost:10810 -c 'h.trim(3*1024*1024*1024,0)'
...
Thread 1 "qemu-nbd" hit Breakpoint 3, blk_co_pdiscard (blk=0x555555832dc0,
     offset=0, bytes=-1073741824)

Looks like I now have even more reason to accelerate my review of the 
remainder of this series, and to take some (if not all) of it through 
the NBD tree.

pread and pwrite weren't necessarily problems for NBD (since our NBD 
implementation caps things to 32M per packet).

But this change to writing zeroes,

and this change to discard are definitely both bug fixes for NBD 
clients, especially now that we have a real-world case of a client 
(namely the blkdiscard app triggering ioctl(BLKDISCARD) handling through 
nbd.ko as client) that actually triggers a >2G trim request.
