IMHO having standards based functionality only in the cli as a plugin
diminishes the value of the library.  If a developer is required to fork
& exec the cli for some functionality, just do it for all.

If the size of libnvme is a concern, MI could be built into a separate
library from the same source tree that leverages the base libnvme
library, to allow selective install & use.
