For this we need to add a proper controller init routine and a list of
all controllers that is in addition to the list of PCIe controllers,
which stays in pci.c. Note that we remove the sysfs device when the
last reference to a controller is dropped now - the old code would have
kept it around longer, which doesn't make much sense.
This requires a new ->reset_ctrl operation to implement controleller
resets, and a new ->write_reg32 operation that is required to implement
subsystem resets. We also now store caches copied of the NVMe compliance
version and the flag if a controller is attached to a subsystem or not in

The new struct nvme_ctrl will be used by the common NVMe code that sits
on top of struct request_queue and the new nvme_ctrl_ops abstraction.
It only contains the bare minimum required, which consists of values
sampled during controller probe, the admin queue pointer and a second
struct device pointer at the moment, but more will follow later. Only
values that are not used in the I/O fast path should be moved to
struct nvme_ctrl so that drivers can optimize their cache line usage
easily. That's also the reason why we have two device pointers as
the struct device is used for DMA mapping purposes.

We received a bug report recently when DDW (64-bit direct DMA on Power)
is not enabled for NVMe devices. In that case, we fall back to 32-bit
DMA via the IOMMU, which is always done via 4K TCEs (Translation Control
Entries).
The NVMe device driver, though, assumes that the DMA alignment for the
PRP entries will match the device's page size, and that the DMA aligment
matches the kernel's page aligment. On Power, the the IOMMU page size,
as mentioned above, can be 4K, while the device can have a page size of
8K, while the kernel has a page size of 64K. This eventually trips the
BUG_ON in nvme_setup_prps(), as we have a 'dma_len' that is a multiple
of 4K but not 8K (e.g., 0xF000).
In this particular case of page sizes, we clearly want to use the
IOMMU's page size in the driver. And generally, the NVMe driver in this
function should be using the IOMMU's page size for the default device
page size, rather than the kernel's page size. There is not currently an
API to obtain the IOMMU's page size across all architectures and in the
interest of a stop-gap fix to this functional issue, default the NVMe
device page size to 4K, with the intent of adding such an API and
implementation across all architectures in the next merge window.
With the functionally equivalent v3 of this patch, our hardware test
exerciser survives when using 32-bit DMA; without the patch, the kernel
will BUG within a few minutes.

eight bad block categories. Currently four are defined:
* Factory bad blocks
* Grown bad blocks
* Device-side reserved blocks
* Host-side reserved blocks
The factory and grown bad blocks are the regular bad blocks. The
reserved blocks are either for internal use or external use. In
particular, the device-side reserved blocks allows the host to
bootstrap from a limited number of flash blocks. Reducing the flash
blocks to scan upon super block initialization.
