In fact I'd like to exclude chaining as well as BLKIF_OP_DISCARD here.
The former should - if useful for anything - be controlled by a
separate feature flag, and the latter is plain pointless to indirect.
And I reckon the same would apply to BLKIF_OP_FLUSH_DISKCACHE
and BLKIF_OP_RESERVED_1 - i.e. it might be better to state that
indirection is only permitted for normal I/O (read/write) ops.
