The hardware offload for NVME commands was created when the FC-NVME standard was setting SGL Descriptor Type to SGL Data Block Descriptor (0h) and SGL Descriptor Sub Type to Address (0h). A late change in NVMe-over-Fabrics obsoleted these values, creating a transport SGL descriptor type with new values to go into these fields. For initial hardware support, in order to be compliant to the spec, use host-supplied cmd IU buffers instead of the adapter generated values. Later hardware will correct this. Add a module parameter to override this offload disablement if looking for lowest latency. This is reasonable as nothing in FC-NVME uses the SQE SGL values.
