Add support for registering as a LightNVM device. This allows us to

In /drivers/Makefile, LightNVM is moved above block device drivers

I don't think mixing the lighnvm code into null_blk is a good idea.
Please just create a separate null_nvm device for lighnvm. It already
has a completely separate I/O path.
But it still avoids duplicating the generics of it. Patch for null_blk:
3 files changed, 168 insertions(+), 7 deletions (-)
vs a standalone of:
3 files changed, 459 insertions(+)
It doesn't screw up null_blk, so I'd prefer just adding it as an
on-the-side mode for that.
