Hi Andy,

Before 4.0, reading attrib/emulate_fua_write has returned 1. Saved
configs created on a pre-4.0 kernel will try to write that back when
restoring LIO configuration. This should succeed with no effect,
and issue a warning.

This patch does not apply against target-pending/for-next code.

Note this particular check was already dropped in >= v3.19-rc1:

target: Drop left-over PHBA_PDEV set attr checks

This patch is against Linus's tree.

4b36b68ca8bab6edf7e99f859c42a91f3ad1846e in v4.0-rc5 seems to re-add these checks to set_emulate_fua_write...? I'm confused. That one check wasn't mentioned in the changelog, did it sneak in?
