I'm completely interesting in adding code to the nvme driver that is just intended for benchmarketing. The fixed buffers are nice for benchmarking and a very small number of real use cases (e.g. fixed size database log), but for this feature to be generally useful for the real world we'll need to support arbitrary user memory.
