+Date: Mar 2017
+Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
+Description:
+ Since the force_remove is inherently broken and dangerous to
+ use for some hotplugable resources like memory (because ignoring
+ the offline failure might lead to memory corruption and crashes)
+ enabling this knob is not safe and thus unsupported.

Description:
- Devices that support discard functionality may return
- stale or random data when a previously discarded block
- is read back. This can cause problems if the filesystem
- expects discarded blocks to be explicitly cleared. If a
- device reports that it deterministically returns zeroes
- when a discarded area is read the discard_zeroes_data
- parameter will be set to one. Otherwise it will be 0 and
- the result of reading a discarded area is undefined.
