Obviously neither Hannes or I have sufficient tls knowledge to properly
support it... It needs to be done by someone who knows the
implementation.

Is this a large scope to add support for it? Because if it is, I'd
simply change nvme to clear MSG_EOR when tls is used (despite my
preference to not do special things for tls).
