This patch adds support for exposing DIF protection device
attributes via configfs.  This includes:

     pi_prot_type: Protection Type (0, 1, 3 currently support)
     pi_prot_version: Protection Version (DIF v1 currently supported)
     pi_guard_type: Guard Type (1=DIF CRC, 2=IP CRC)

Within se_dev_set_pi_prot_type() it also adds the se_subsystem_api
device callbacks to setup per device protection information.
Suggestion, expose pi_prot_format and call transport->init_prot() there.
It is more explicit
and this routine should be called upon getting FORMAT_UNIT as well.
<nod>, working on this next for FILEIO following your original example
code.

I would suggest to keep user interface the same for all backstores.
Let me send you my latest WIP example for FILEIO that follows the pi_prot_format notation and you can arrange it as you wish.

Thanks Sagi!
