Sagi,

Do we really need another parameter/option ?  seems awkward to need 
userspace to figure it out.

The transport certainly knows the difference between 1st time connect 
and nth time re-connect - perhaps this should be a simple flag on the 
nvme ctrl struct set by the transport ?  Simple thing for rdma/tcp to 
set flag at end of successful xxx_create_ctrl(), while FC, given it does 
reconnects w/o a first successful connect needs a little more logic.
