Absoulutely, the target core struct se_device backends being serviced as
VSCSI LUN would normally return SCSI-3 from INQUIRY data, and support
the full set of persistent reservations and CRH=1 (Compatible
Reservations Handling) in drivers/target/target_core_pr.c code.

Also, we are able to explictly limit individual struct se_device
backends to disable PR and only use the older SCSI-2 reservations, but I
don't think we have a way to do this on a fabric module wide basis just
yet.

Is this something we should be doing for this code..?
