NVMe driver status

[Brandon Schulz]

Is there any kind of coordination among contributors on backports to legacy-nvme or is it just kind of a free-for-all until someone submits a patch on this list?

Thanks,
Brandon

I'm happy to apply requested changes. I can't necessarily guarantee a particular deadline, though I try to align with interested OS vendors ahead of their release updates if they're using the older version.

Specifically on async probe and others, I'll get these merged in later this week.

Would there be any interest in having occasional conference calls to discuss items such as these? I would be glad to setup a call, as long as Keith and/or Mathew agree that it is worthwhile and can attend.
