From: Fedor Loshakov <losha...@linux.ibm.com>
Introduce separate zfcp module parameters to individually
select support for:
DIF which should work (zfcp.dif, which used to be DIF+DIX, disabled) or
DIX+DIF which can cause trouble (zfcp.dix, new, disabled).
If DIX is enabled, we warn on zfcp driver initialization.
As before, this also reduces the maximum I/O request size to half,
to support the worst case of merged single sector requests with one
protection data scatter gather element per sector. This can impact the
maximum throughput.
In DIF-only mode (zfcp.dif=1 zfcp.dix=0), we can use the full maximum
I/O request size as there is no protection data for zfcp.

Changes in description since v1:
Don't erroneously blame non-zfcp code for DIX issues.
Explain technical reasons why DIF-only mode is interesting for zfcp.
