Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the hints. Do you happen to know which Intel drives these are? I 
have a few Intel drives: DC P3600/3700 and 900p/P4800X but neither of those 
devices have CMB.

I'm experimenting with Mellanox ConnectX-5 target offloading so it would be 
nice to see the effects of having SQ/CQ and data staging on the device. From 
the experiments I've done so far it looks like the latencies are higher with 
the offloaded target compared to SPDK or the Kernel target. I assume this is 
partially due to the additional PCIe round trip times.

Thanks & Cheers,
Jonas
