How hardcoded is the assumption that /dev/nvmeX is the chardev for
/dev/nvmeXn*?
I thought that was quite deep and thus would want to keep /dev/nvmeX
as a multipathed devices (maybe some lightweight multipathing, aka
always go to the first controller) and then have another chardev
like /dev/nvmeXpN or /dev/nvmeXcN for each controller?
