I don't understand why we don't limit a regular ctrl to single access

I guess the block layer helps to sync between multiple access in
parallel but we can do it as well.
Also, let's say you limit the access to this subsystem to 1 user, the
bdev is still accessibly for local user and also you can create a
different subsystem that will use this device (PT and non-PT ctrl).
Sagi,
can you explain the trouble you meant and how this limitation solve it ?
Its different to emulate the controller with all its admin
commands vs. passing it through to the nvme device.. (think of format
nvm)
we don't need to support format command for PT ctrl as we don't support
other commands such create_sq/cq.
