Not quite ready to my latest, but I pushed it to a different branch here:

  https://github.com/linux-nvme/nvme-cli/tree/experimental

It adds a "--output-format" option that takes normal, json, or binary types.

The main thing though, is support for plugin extensions, and I made LightNVM
and Intel built-in extensions with specifics to their devices.

It also adds support for dynamically loaded plug-ins. This is so a
3rd party or vendor can extend the program without having their stuff
in-tree. It accomplishes this using the dynamic linking loader (dlopen,
dlsym, and friends) to open and register symbols.
