Bug description:
  This capability takes advantage of the Optimized PCI Express* SSD
  Interface used by FultonDale PCIe SDD Products. PCI Express* (PCIe)
  SSDs are emerging in Enterprise as a great solution in the caching
  tier where IOPs/$ and latency are valued. The NVM Express
  specification, developed cooperatively by more than 80 companies from
  across the industry, was released on March 1, 2011 by the NVMHCI Work
  Group; now more commonly known as the NVMe Work Group. The NVM Express
  1.0 specification that defines an optimized register interface,
  command set and feature set for PCI Express¨ (PCIe¨)-based Solid-State
  Drives (SSDs).  The goal is to enable the broad adoption of SSDs using
  the PCIe interface. For more information visit www.nvmexpress.org.

  The latest version of NVMe driver provides:
  - Highest Efficiency Performance with a Memory Optimized Interface
  - Delivers differentiated NVM solutions that address data center performance, scaling, and power challenges.
