Which means adding another COMPARE_AND_WRITE specific flag to
se_cmd_flags_Table, as the SCF_COMPARE_AND_WRITE_POST is ony set after
the comparsion of the verify instance data is complete..

Is it really worth having two se_cmd_flags for COMPARE_AND_WRITE..?

actually needed to reverse it's dma direction (I'm sure that Roland
knows, CC'ed), but IIRC it was a tcm_qla2xxx specific thing..?
