I'd be happy to heave less of this crap in nvme actually.  But I'm really
pissed this shit got out in the wild.  It wasn't clear from the mail
that this is something already out there because the idiots coming up
with it just went ahead with it.  Please just update the commit logs
and implementation to clearly mark it as a workaround for buggys
systems, which just happen to at least be nice enough to tell us that
they are buggy as f^$k.
