[PATCH for-next v10 0/7] Fixed-buffer for uring-cmd/passthru

Hi

uring-cmd lacks the ability to leverage the pre-registered buffers.
This series adds that support in uring-cmd, and plumbs nvme passthrough
to work with it.
Patch 3 and 4 contains a bunch of general nvme cleanups, which got added
along the iterations.

Using registered-buffers showed IOPS hike from 1.65M to 2.04M.
Without fixedbufs
