This patch forces SPC-3 for Hyper-V disks on the VMBus. As Windows 10's
virtual SAS bus is SPC-3 compliant and there are no negative side effects
on forcing SPC-3 compliance for Win8 hosts, this patch enables SPC-3
compliance by forcing it on for hosts with versions later than Win8.
Forcing SPC-3 compliance for hosts earlier than Win10 also enables
TRIM support.
