Yah, similar to my last nitpick comment, I like this a tad better
because we don't even have to mention nvmf/nvmeof.

I'd still like to see example documentation in the header patch of what
the resulting .conf file contents could look like.

Dido. ?Be nice to know what argstr/parameter broke.

Are you thinking that there could be a single system that is acting
like multiple hosts, therefore each "host/hostnqn" could use a separate
.conf file for connection??

If that is the case, then it may be a little confusing if there was a
single /etc/nvme/hostnqn filename that existed.
