[PATCH v8] convert nvme driver to blk-mq

["Matias Bjørling" <m@bjorling.me>]

Hi all,

Thanks for all the hard work, feedback and suggestions.

I think we're there. I did a test with the qemu nvme device, it passes xfstests,
spurious removals, and ioctl tests. Take it for a spin on your physical devices.

The patch is based on the following:

Jens for-linus up to:

  28747fcd2211d0fccbe3d3c91a1067c3744db908
  block: remove WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT from kblockd

Matthew master up to:

  bd67608a6127c994e897c49cc4f72d9095925301
  NVMe: Rename io_timeout to nvme_io_timeout
