NVM Express 1.2 - Controller Memory Buffer Functionality.

[Stephen Bates]

Ah, very much a case of "be careful what you ask for" ;-). OK I will start to look at this soon.  One issue I can forsee is lack of 1.2 compliant drives to do testing on. Does anyone have any ideas how best to handle that?

Cheers

Stephen
