With gcc 4.1:

    drivers/lightnvm/core.c: In function ‘nvm_remove_tgt’:
    drivers/lightnvm/core.c:510: warning: ‘t’ is used uninitialized in this function

Indeed, if no NVM devices have been registered, t will be an
uninitialized pointer, and may be dereferenced later.  A call to
nvm_remove_tgt() can be triggered from userspace by issuing the
NVM_DEV_REMOVE ioctl on the lightnvm control device.

Fix this by preinitializing t to NULL.

Currently all the target instances are removed under global nvm_lock.
This was needed to ensure that nvm_dev struct will not be freed by
hot unplug event during target removal. However, current implementation
has some drawbacks, since the same lock is used when new nvme subsystem
is registered, so we can have a situation, that due to long process of
target removal on drive A, registration (and listing in OS) of the
drive B will take a lot of time, since it will wait for that lock.

Now when we have kref which ensures that nvm_dev will not be freed in
the meantime, we can easily get rid of this lock for a time when we are
removing nvm targets.

When creation process is still in progress, target is not yet on
targets list. This causes a chance for removing whole lightnvm
subsystem by calling nvm_unregister() in the meantime and finally by
causing kernel panic inside target init function.

This patch changes the behaviour by adding kref variable which tracks
all the users of nvm_dev structure. When nvm_dev is allocated, kref
value is set to 1. Then before every target creation the value is
increased and decreased after target removal. The extra reference
is decreased when nvm subsystem is unregistered.

When we trigger nvm target remove during device hot unplug, there is
a probability to hit a general protection fault. This is caused by use
of nvm_dev thay may be freed from another (hot unplug) thread
(in the nvm_unregister function).

Introduce lock in nvme_ioctl_dev_remove function to prevent this
situation.

Current lightnvm and pblk implementation does not care about NVMe max
data transfer size, which can be smaller than 64*K=256K. There are
existing NVMe controllers which NVMe max data transfer size is lower
that 256K (for example 128K, which happens for existing NVMe
controllers which are NVMe spec compliant). Such a controllers are not
able to handle command which contains 64 PPAs, since the the size of
DMAed buffer will be above the capabilities of such a controller.

<title>lightnvm: dynamic DMA pool entry size</title>

Currently lightnvm and pblk uses single DMA pool, for which the entry
size always is equal to PAGE_SIZE. The contents of each entry allocated
from the DMA pool consists of a PPA list (8bytes * 64), leaving
56bytes * 64 space for metadata. Since the metadata field can be bigger,
such as 128 bytes, the static size does not cover this use-case.

This patch adds support for I/O metadata above 56 bytes by changing DMA
pool size based on device meta size and allows pblk to use OOB metadata
&gt;=16B.

Currently the geometry of an OCSSD is enumerated using a two step
approach:

First, nvm_register is called, the OCSSD identify command is issued,
and second the geometry sos and csecs values are read either from the
OCSSD identify if it is a 1.2 drive, or from the NVMe namespace data
structure if it is a 2.0 device.

This patch recombines it into a single step, such that nvm_register can
use the csecs and sos fields independent of which version is used. This
enables one to dynamically size the lightnvm subsystem dma pool.
