+Description:
+ Devices that support write zeroes operation in which a
+ single request can be issued to zero out the range of
+ contiguous blocks on storage without having any payload
+ in the request. This can be used to optimize writing zeroes
+ to the devices. write_zeroes_max_bytes indicates how many
+ bytes can be written in a single write zeroes command. If
+ write_zeroes_max_bytes is 0, write zeroes is not supported
+ by the device.
