The patches as submitted do the two following two things:

 1) interpret the simple temperature hints to map to FDP reclaim handles
 2) add a new interface to set the temperature hints per I/O

and also rely on an annoying existing implementation detail where the I/O
hints set on random files get automatically propagated to the block
device without file system involvement.

This means we can't easily make the nvme driver actually use smarter
hints that expose the actual FDP capabilities without breaking users
that relied on the existing behavior, especially the per-I/O hints that
counteract any kind of file system based data placement.
