HP-UX 11iv3/11.31 disk congestion control/throttling

HP-UX 11.31 includes some new parameters available via scsimgr.  These parameters are for disk congestion control, based on a maximum queue depth for the target port.

This document includes details on how the congestion control works.

On my production systems, I mainly just want to ensure its disabled :-)

If this lil awk returns a bunch of nuthin' except target path instance numbers, its not enabled.
