Description

We added SCSI UNMAP support with bug 1700, but there is currently no way for upstack code to detect if a drive supports UNMAP. Having this capability would be useful for the ZoL port of the ZFS TRIM code (bug 6363). I'm going to implement a new DKIOC ioctl which would report the SD_THIN_PROV_ENABLED status from un_thin_flags.

To test this, I ran a simple program which issues the ioctl and reports the results. I ran it against a regular disk (which reports no trim support) and an SSD (which reports trim support).
