I think this negation is hard to follow, at least I had a hard time
reviewing it.

Wouldn't it make more sense to use CRYPT_IV_USE_SECTORS, set the bit
for algorithms that use sectors as IV (like plain64) and then do a 
normal

	if (test_bit(CRYPT_IV_USE_SECTORS, &cc->cipher_flags)) {
		DMWARN("Zone append is not supported with sector-based IV cyphers");
		ti->zone_append_not_supported = true;
	}

i.e. without the double negation?
