SCSI does as well, it's the APTPL flag. However reservations not persistent through a power loss are basically useless, so I decided to force them on in the API. From the documentation:
"All implementations are expected to ensure the reservations survive a power loss"
So I would prefer not to add it, or if we really have to as a negative flag to specifically opt out of the APTPL behavior.

This sounds like a sensible addition to me, and I wouldn't be surprised if future SPC versions will add this flag.
