This patch introduces a implementation of NVMe subsystems,
controllers and discovery service which allows to export
NVMe namespaces across fabrics such as Ethernet, FC etc.
The implementation conforms to the NVMe 1.2.1 specification
and interoperates with NVMe over fabrics host implementations.
Configuration works using configfs, and is best performed using
the nvmetcli tool from http://git.infradead.org/users/hch/nvmetcli.git,
which also has a detailed explanation of the required steps in the
README file.

This patch moves the NVMe driver from drivers/block/ to its own new
drivers/nvme/host/ directory. This is in preparation of splitting the
current monolithic driver up and add support for the upcoming NVMe
over Fabrics standard. The drivers/nvme/host/ is chose to leave space
for a NVMe target implementation in addition to this host side driver.
