Thank you, it worked!

However, It seems that "discards" behavior for thin pool is not
supported on RHEL 6.4. Please confirm. 
# ./configure --with-thin=internal --enable-debug

# make; make install

# lvcreate --discards passdown -L 1G -T thinvg1/thinlv1
  Logical volume "thinlv1" created

# lvs -o +devices|grep -i thinlv1
  thinlv1       thinvg1       twi-a-tz-   1.00g               0.00
thinlv1_tdata(0)

# dmesg
device-mapper: thin: Data device (dm-3) discard unsupported: Disabling
discard passdown.

        if (reason) {
                DMWARN("Data device (%s) %s: Disabling discard
passdown.", bdevname(data_bdev, buf), reason);
                pt->adjusted_pf.discard_passdown = false;
        }

Seems that we'll reach here if QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD flag in the request
queue is not set.
