It is. And I have most of these fixed in my integrity branch that
reworks how LLDs interact with the SCSI midlayer. I've only done
mpt3sas, qla2xxx, and lpfc because that's what I test with. I.e. I
missed zfcp and iser.

I will review your series shortly. But since all the integrity stuff is
transitioning to the t10_pi_foo* interfaces, my initial hunch is that we
probably just want to get rid of scsi_get_lba() completely and use
blk_rq_pos() directly for the places where we want block layer
addressing. I'm not a big fan of _pos() and like _sector() much
better. But I do think that the blk_ prefix makes it clear that we're
referring to sectors and not logical blocks, physical blocks, or
protection intervals.

Anyway. More in an hour or so...
