QEMU does support it, and reports support for it by default (you may
need to upgrade qemu if yours is more than a year old). You just need to
format your namespace with metadata then you can send commands with
either SGL or MPTR.

QEMU supports 0, 8, 16, and 64 metadata bytes on either 512b or 4k block
sizes.

If you want 8 bytes for metadata on start up, attach parameter "ms=8" to
the '-device nvme-ns' qemu setup.

Alternatively, you can use the 'nvme format' command after booting to
change it whenever you want.
