This is the Type 4 we have been shopping among various vendors. It
predates and is simpler than HP's proposal (which met resistance in T10
and was subsequently dropped). So we revived our original Type 4
proposal which is 16 bytes of protection information per interval
(CRC32C, 48-bit LBA and 6 bytes of app tag). The proposal has been
sitting around for a while waiting for SBC-4 to open.
