Please find a way to do this entirely from common code, currently you
miss out on all the non-PCIe transports.

I think this could simply be something like:

	__le64 ts;

	ts = cpu_to_le64(ktime_to_ms(ktime_get_real()));
	status = nvme_set_features(ctrl, NVME_FEAT_TIMESTAMP, 0, &ts,
			sizeof(ts),

The Timestamp feature does not define a result, so you should just
pass NULL for the result parameter.  And if you want to print something
on error the status value is probably more useful.

No need to check for the version - NVMe TPs also apply to all previous
versions if they are backwards compatible, which this one is.
