Hi Christoph,
Thanks for looking over the code. The newly added commands were to
support Asymmetric NVME Namespace Subsystem. Though, I can remove
those commands and make it active-active configuration. I noticed
you have sent out the review with changes adding new structures
and functions which makes it very similar in terms of implementation.
The only reason I proposed given changes, as it doesn't require any
change to kernel.
