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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
