David Disseldorp b224f6134d nvme: set discard_alignment to zero
Similar to 7c08428979 ("rbd: set discard_alignment to zero"), NVMe
devices are currently incorrectly initialised with the block queue
discard_alignment set to the NVMe stream alignment.

As per Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block:
  The discard_alignment parameter indicates how many bytes the beginning
  of the device is offset from the internal allocation unit's natural
  alignment.

Correcting the discard_alignment parameter to zero has no effect on how
discard requests are propagated through the block layer - @alignment in
__blkdev_issue_discard() remains zero. However, it does fix other
consumers, such as LIO's Block Limits VPD response.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
