Verify that when a fitrim operation is made against a btrfs filesystem,
the ranges [0, 64Kb[ and [68Kb, 1Mb[ of the device are not discarded,
they remain with the content they had before the fitrim operation. These
regions of the device are reserved for a boot loader to use at its will.
In the 4.3 linux kernel we got a regression that allowed a fitrim
operation to discard these reserved ranges of the device, resulting in
the filesystem becoming unbootable after a fitrim. The issue is fixed
by the following patch (targeted for 4.5 and 4.3/4.4 stable releases):
"Btrfs: fix fitrim discarding device area reserved for boot loader's use"
