[PATCH v2 0/3] Add OCP extended log to nvme QEMU

[Christoph Hellwig]

Please don't do this.  OCP is acting as a counter standard to the
proper NVMe standard here and should in absolutely no way be supported
by open source projects that needs to stick to the actual standards.

Please work with the NVMe technical working group to add this (very
useful) functionality to NVMe proper first.
