Yeah, for SAS and FC it would be nice to leverage DIX and let the ASIC
do the actual checking and splitting. I assume the same is true for your
hw.
Correct! we should avoid a duplicate DIF processing. if the HW supports
offloading DIF processing, target core can shutdown backstore
verfy_read/verify_write methods.
