No need for the empty line here.  Also can you make sure this new
code (and all the new exports) are only enabled if
CONFIG_NVME_TARGET_PASSTHRU is set.  Preferably by having a little
block at the end of this file with this function and the extra
exports with a big fat comment that they are only for nvmet-passthrough.
