Browsing a few Linux source files suggests that you should be able to
recognize it by the data length in your Define Extent CCW. We used to
do 16 byte, from what dasd_eckd.h tells me XRC adds another 16 (and
uses some of the reserved bytes). An I/O trace with CCW option should
reveal it...

And since someone asked that a while ago; once RDC shows the device
can, Linux appears to include the time stamps.
