In our application, we need a way to force TCP connections to go out a
specific interface instead of letting Linux select the interface based
on the routing tables. This patch adds the option 'host-triface' to allow
specifying the interface to use. Note that corresponding changes to the
nvme-cli utility will follow.

Martin Belanger (1):
  Add 'Transport Interface' (triface) option. This can be used to
    specify the IP interface to use for the connection. The driver uses
    that to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on the socket before connecting.
