Humm. That's unfortunate (in a way) that discards is the same
allow-discards.

In pam_mount where discard too had been feature-requested (and then
implemented according to the way it sounds): "allow-discards"
_allows_ discarding, but only "discard" would make it such that
the filesystem issues discards to the block layer, leaving the
former case for manual discards.
