Christoph Hellwig 7110230719 nvme-rdma: add a NVMe over Fabrics RDMA host driver
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.

---help---
The NVM Express driver is for solid state drives directly
connected to the PCI or PCI Express bus. If you know you
don't have one of these, it is safe to answer N.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called nvme.

bool "SCSI emulation for NVMe device nodes"
depends on NVME_CORE
---help---
This adds support for the SG_IO ioctl on the NVMe character
and block devices nodes, as well as a translation for a small
number of selected SCSI commands to NVMe commands to the NVMe
driver. If you don't know what this means you probably want
to say N here, unless you run a distro that abuses the SCSI
emulation to provide stable device names for mount by id, like
some OpenSuSE and SLES versions.

help
This provides support for the NVMe over Fabrics protocol using
the RDMA (Infiniband, RoCE, iWarp) transport. This allows you
to use remote block devices exported using the NVMe protocol set.
To configure a NVMe over Fabrics controller use the nvme-cli tool
from https://github.com/linux-nvme/nvme-cli.
If unsure, say N.
