nvme-loop: add a NVMe loopback host driver
This patch implements adds nvme-loop which allows to access local devices exported as NVMe over Fabrics namespaces. This module can be useful for easy evaluation, testing and also feature experimentation. To createa nvme-loop device you need to configure the NVMe target to export a loop port (see the nvmetcli documentaton for that) and then connect to it using nvme connect-all -t loop which requires the very latest nvme-cli version with Fabrics support.
