Thank you for your comment.
I will recreate this patch which adds nvme_user_cmd_post
for update keep alive timer and move update routine to core.c.

This is too specific. I'd move it to nvme_user_cmd_post similar to how
we handle passthru commands (with start/end that does stuff based on the
effects)

The section below needs to move to a core rountine:
nvme_update_keep_alive()
