The controller capabilities' command sets supported used here is the
right way to key off on support for this new command set, IMHO, but I do
not see in this patch the command set being selected when the controller
is enabled

Also if we're going this route, I think we need to define this reserved
bit in the spec, but I'm not sure how to help with that.

I don't find OACS used anywhere in the rest of the patch. I think this
must be left over from v1.

Otherwise it looks pretty good to me, but I think it would be cleaner if
the lightnvm stuff is not mixed in the same file with the standard nvme
command set. We might end up splitting nvme-core in the future anyway
for command sets and transports.
