 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.
+               Will always return 0.  Don't rely on any specific behavior
+               for discards, and don't read this file.
