I may be doing a bad job explaining this scenario. I'm sure it'll make
sense if you synthesize it.

Here's one way: run qemu with this patch and "-smp" set to 8. In the
linux nvme driver, set NVME_AQ_DEPTH to something lower than 8, like
4. Then reset the controller in the guest. This will fake an unresponsive
controller during reset.
