      Description of problem: Currently the QEMU process is able to set WRITE_SAME/UNMAP granularity. This option is not available in libvirt
      and workaround needs to be used to set it up.

      Current workaround is to set additional commands while starting qemu:

      <domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'>
      <qemu:commandline>
      <qemu:arg value='-set'/>
      <qemu:arg value='block.scsi0-0-0.discard_granularity=4194304'/>
      </qemu:commandline>
      </domain>

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      libvirt-6.0.0-17.2.module+el8.2.0+6629+3fc0f2c2.x86_64

      How reproducible:
      Every time

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. try to define discard granularity option in libvirt

      Actual results:
      No such option is available.

      Expected results:
      Option is available in the libvirt xml when defining storage backend.
