When the data and protection are interleaved in the memory domain, no need to expand the mkey total length. At the moment no Linux user works (iSER initiator & target) in interleaved mode. This may change in the future as for SCSI pass-through devices there is no real point in target performing de-interleaving and re-interleaving of the protection data in the PT stage. Regardless, signature verbs support this mode.
