Sure we could. So we'd have to add more code to almost 1000 lines of
code in bsg that are not useful to the nvme use case to make it useful
for that use case. Or we could just add about 50 lines of code to NVMe
to do the right thing.
My point wasn't so much that it'd be easier to code.
Just wanted to point out how we've argued in the past.
But anyway: you are the maintainer, you get to decide.
Cheers,
Hannes
