Grr. And it doesn't actually compile.

drivers/scsi/sd.c:579:27: error: macro "sd_dif_op" passed 4 arguments, but takes just 3
drivers/scsi/sd.c: In function ʽsd_prep_fnʼ:
drivers/scsi/sd.c:578: error: ʽsd_dif_opʼ undeclared (first use in this function)
drivers/scsi/sd.c:578: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
drivers/scsi/sd.c:578: error: for each function it appears in.)

Hmm? Was this testedt AT ALL? It can never compile unless that idiotic
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY option is set that no sane person would set right
now, and which is even documented to not be enabled by default:

If in doubt, say N.

yet it looks like it has not compiled since a commit that was put in in
the middle of September!

What part of "This is total untested crap" are we missing here?

Yeah, I'm grumpy. I expect to not be fed shit like this. It has apparently
been rebased several times, and all apparently with no testing
what-so-ever!
