 This incredibly useful PR/patch has been neglected for over a year.
 
 SSDs are mainstream now and being used commonly by FreeBSD users.  This
 greatly increases the want for secure erase.  Sure, we have TRIM for
 UFS, and HEAD/CURRENT has TRIM for ZFS, and that's good at keeping
 the FTL optimal on an SSD, but let's be reasonable here.
 
 Alexander and Andriy, I know you're both busy, but can either of you
 review this?
 
 If you need/want an updated patch (specifically for 8.3 and 9.x), I can
 provide updated ones (will take me some time of course).
 
 Thanks guys.
