H A Dmpt3sas_ctl.caff39e61218f9a6d5cad1b62bd5a75ae8d4f7890 Tue Oct 31 12:32:29 UTC 2017 Suganath Prabu Subramani <suganath-prabu.subramani@broadcom.com> scsi: mpt3sas: Added support for nvme encapsulated request message.

* Mpt3sas driver uses the NVMe Encapsulated Request message to send an
NVMe command to an NVMe device attached to the IOC.

* Normal I/O commands like reads and writes are passed to the
controller as SCSI commands and the controller has the ability to
translate the commands to NVMe equivalent.

* This encapsulated NVMe command is used by applications to send
direct NVMe commands to NVMe drives.
