Hello, This patchset adds two functions providing kernel to kernel API for submiting NVMe admin commands. This is for use of NVMe-aware block device drivers stacking on top of NVMe drives. An example of such driver is Open CAS Linux [1] which uses NVMe extended LBA formats and thus needs to issue commands like nvme_admin_identify.
