The SCSI temperature hints are I think exactly what we want. The fact
that they had to be shoe horned in in a weird to claim to be streams
is a little awkward, but sometimes that's need to get things done.
Hint to Samsung and Meta: if you have to hack them into NVMe to
still claim it's FDP so that you marketing budget isn't lost we
can probably live with that..
