Sagi> OK, so this is an implicit escape (which will become explicit in
Sagi> DIX1.1?). So I will open that in DIF RDMA verbs.

DIX 1.0 says:

"If a storage device returns a value of 0xFFFF in the application tag
and the device is formatted with T10 PI Type 1 or 2 protection, the I/O
controller must disable integrity checking for that sector."

In DIX 1.1 it is explicit by way of the DIX_APP_ESCAPE flag.
