Subject: [PATCH] dmsquash: Add rd.live.overlay.thin
712866
712866
This option changes the underlying mechanism for the overlay in the
712866
dmsquash module.
712866
Instead of a plain dm snapshot a dm thin snapshot is used. The advantage
712866
of the thin snapshot is, that the TRIM command is recognized, which
712866
means that at runtime, only the occupied blocks will be claimed from
712866
memory, and freed blocks will really be freed in ram.

+The advantage of thin snapshots is, that they support discards, and will free
