You can run the identify or nvme_manage example to get a nice list of all of the devices that SPDK
can attach to. They are in examples/nvme.

We have this page: http://www.spdk.io/spdk/doc/nvmf_getting_started.html, which is accurate for our
last tagged release but has gone stale for the code on 'master'. We'll have an updated one shortly.
Right now it's fairly early stages, so you mostly have to just read the code. Our configuration file
is reasonably well documented too.

We test against the NVMe-oF initiator that will be added to the Linux kernel. It currently exists as
a set of patches against kernel 4.8. Here is an article from Mellanox explaining how to set up your
Linux kernel for NVMe-oF: https://community.mellanox.com/docs/DOC-2508. SPDK can run against
essentially any modern Linux kernel, so you only have to put kernel 4.8 on the initiator system.
