NVMe requires a reliable transport. The Fabrics spec very explicitly
states that, and PCIe provides the gurantees as well.
If we lose random admin command replies we have much, much deeper
problems. E.g. if we lose the AEN reply we would never get any other
AEN ever because we are not going to resubmit the command.
