I really would love to get this into 6.5, as then we can do a clean 
rebase of the NVMe development tree off 6.5, knowing that we won't have 
to touch the networking. Otherwise you have to be sure to fork the 6.6 
development branch off the right point.

But then I'm not doing the forking, so really all I care is that the 
networking bits are present in the 6.6 NVMe development branch ...

Cheers,

Hannes
