If there really are targets behaving this way, then this looks good and
necessary, however unfortunate. A TCP target triggered the need for
valid tag validation in the first place.

Are there really fabrics targets behaving this way, or is this series
anticipating they might exist? Apple disregarding specs is nothing new,
but I would have hoped no other targets would do this since most vendors
care about interop.
