Interesting, it would make sense to simply not scramble if the

precedence over the scrambling. Or if you give a buffer pattern, that
also
disables the scrambling. I'll add the same for the compression settings.

Care to give it a test spin, just to be on the safe side?

Hey Jens,

According to my test results below it worked for
buffer_compress_percentage, but not zero_buffers.  Also, it looks like
buffer_compress_percentage=0 is broken, unless =0 means disabling that
option altogether.

fio-2.1.6.1-11-g0574

buffer_compress_percentage=100
iops=83436

buffer_compress_percentage=50
iops=78625

buffer_compress_percentage=1
iops=52751

buffer_compress_percentage=0
iops=69433

zero_buffers
iops=69470

scramble_buffers=0
zero_buffers
iops=83369


Doh yes, we can't use that as an enabled flag. Can you apply this on top
of current git and see if it works? Untested...

So that wont work as-is, since the parser will bypass the store when the callback is specified. It needs a one-liner, please try this updated one instead.
