Thanks, I think something like this will be very helpful.

I noticed that FreeBSD already has an nvmecontrol command.
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=nvmecontrol&sektion=8&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+10.1-RELEASE

I haven't tried it or looked to see what the functional differences
are between nvmecontrol and your nvme, if any.  Have you?

Thanks,
