Optional argument looks nice, at least to me.

But hmm..

"cluster" and "batch" describes current kernel implementation, not user visible effect.
Usually I suggest to pick up a word from man pages because it describe user visible action.
e.g. --discard=freed-pages or --discard=io or --discard=swapon or --discard=once, etc..

But this is not strong opinion. You can ignore it. I don't think I have good English sense. :-)
