The use of the words "dirtying" and "bad practice" in the above sentence 
seems completely inappropriate to me.

So you are proposing to maintain this patch as an out-of-tree patch? 
That sounds like a bad idea to me. Anyone who modifies the NVMe code 
wouldn't see the out-of-tree patch so the out-of-tree patch would get 
broken quickly.
