Add an option to prevent QDLS from being used

IBM is recommending to stop using QDLS since 2010. Symmetric Multi Processing and using QDLS are also not a good combination. 

Sun setting QDLS is maybe a bridge to far, but giving the option to prevent QDLS from being mounted during the IPL, is maybe a good step into the right direction.

    I think this is an excellent idea, something like a system value that removes the ability to access QDLS.
