This patch adds native multipath support to the nvme driver. For each
namespace we create only single block device node, which can be used
to access that namespace through any of the controllers that refer to it.
The gendisk for each controllers path to the name space still exists
inside the kernel, but is hidden from userspace. The character device
nodes are still available on a per-controller basis. A new link from
the sysfs directory for the subsystem allows to find all controllers
for a given subsystem.
Currently we will always send I/O to the first available path, this will
be changed once the NVMe Asynchronous Namespace Access (ANA) TP is
ratified and implemented, at which point we will look at the ANA state
for each namespace. Another possibility that was prototyped is to
use the path that is closes to the submitting NUMA code, which will be
mostly interesting for PCI, but might also be useful for RDMA or FC
transports in the future. There is not plan to implement round robin
or I/O service time path selectors, as those are not scalable with
the performance rates provided by NVMe.
The multipath device will go away once all paths to it disappear,
any delay to keep it alive needs to be implemented at the controller
level.

The SCSI-to-NVMe translations were added to assist storage applications
utilizing SG_IO transitioning to NVMe. It was always recommended,
however, to use native NVMe for device management as too much is lost
in translation and the maintenance burden in keeping this kludgey
layer around has been neglected such that much of the translations are
completely broken.
This patch removes SG_IO handling from NVMe to avoid any confusion
regarding maintenance support for this interface. The config option for
NVMe SCSI emulation has been disabled by default since 4.5. The driver
has supported native nvme user commands since the beginning, and native
tooling is publicly available for use or as reference for anyone writing
their own tools, so there's no excuse for hanging onto a broken crutch.

Implements the FC-NVME T11 definition of how nvme fabric capsules are
performed on an FC fabric. Utilizes a lower-layer API to FC host adapters
to send/receive FC-4 LS operations and FCP operations that comprise NVME
over FC operation.
The T11 definitions for FC-4 Link Services are implemented which create
NVMeOF connections. Implements the hooks with blk-mq to then submit admin
and io requests to the different connections.

Commit aa71987472 ("nvme: fabrics drivers don't need the nvme-pci
driver") removed the dependency on BLK_DEV_NVME, but the cdoe does
depend on the block layer (which used to be an implicit dependency
through BLK_DEV_NVME).
Otherwise you get various errors from the kbuild test robot random
config testing when that happens to hit a configuration with BLOCK
device support disabled.

This patch implements the RDMA host (initiator in SCSI speak) driver. It
can be used to connect to remote NVMe over Fabrics controllers over
Infiniband, RoCE or iWarp, and uses the existing NVMe core driver as well
a the new fabrics library.
To connect to all NVMe over Fabrics controller reachable on a given taget
port using RDMA/CM use the following command:
nvme connect-all -t rdma -a $IPADDR
This requires the latest version of nvme-cli with Fabrics support.

The NVMe over Fabrics library provides an interface for both transports
and the nvme core to handle fabrics specific commands and attributes
independent of the underlying transport.
In addition, the fabrics library adds a misc device interface that allow
actually creating a fabrics controller, as we can't just autodiscover
it like in the PCI case. The nvme-cli utility has been enhanced to use
this interface to support fabric connect and discovery.

Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the block driver pull request for this merge window. It sits
on top of for-4.6/core, that was just sent out.
This contains:
- A set of fixes for lightnvm. One from Alan, fixing an overflow,
and the rest from the usual suspects, Javier and Matias.
- A set of fixes for nbd from Markus and Dan, and a fixup from Arnd
for correct usage of the signed 64-bit divider.
- A set of bug fixes for the Micron mtip32xx, from Asai.
- A fix for the brd discard handling from Bart.
- Update the maintainers entry for cciss, since that hardware has
transferred ownership.
- Three bug fixes for bcache from Eric Wheeler.
- Set of fixes for xen-blk{back,front} from Jan and Konrad.
- Removal of the cpqarray driver. It has been disabled in Kconfig
since 2013, and we were initially scheduled to remove it in 3.15.
- Various updates and fixes for NVMe, with the most important being:
- Removal of the per-device NVMe thread, replacing that with a
watchdog timer instead. From Christoph.
- Exposing the namespace WWID through sysfs, from Keith.
- Set of cleanups from Ming Lin.
- Logging the controller device name instead of the underlying
PCI device name, from Sagi.
- And a bunch of fixes and optimizations from the usual suspects
in this area"

NVMe over Fabrics drivers are going to reuse the core,
so splits nvme.ko into 2 modules:
nvme-core.ko: the core part
nvme.ko: the PCI driver
Export symbols from nvme-core.ko.

Translation SCSI commands to NVMe commands is rather pointless in general
as applications must not expext to be able to use SCSI commands on a

Make the huge translation layer optional and hope no one will ever enable

drivers/nvme/host/ directory. This is in preparation of splitting the
current monolithic driver up and add support for the upcoming NVMe

for a NVMe target implementation in addition to this host side driver.
