I saw the vendor + device, but even with that I'd rather see a reserved
value in the command set in addition.  Claiming that we're NVM if we're
not is a bad idea.

While we're at it - the NVMe driver really should check for these
reserved bits and reject a PCIe device that doesn't claim to implement
the NVM command set.
