This patch adds the warning message when x8-type device
is used with IMSM metadata. x8 device is a special
NVMe drive - two of them on a single PCIe card.
This card could be a single point of failure for
RAID levels different than RAID0. x8 devices have
serial number ending with "-A/-B" or "-1/-2".
