Looks like I didn't test with CONFIG_NVM enabled, and neither did

Most of this is really weird crazy shit in the lighnvm support, though.

Struct nvme_ns is a structure for the NVM I/O command set, and it has
no business poking into it.  Second this commit:

     nvme: lightnvm: use admin queues for admin cmds

Does even more crazy stuff.  If a function gets a request_queue parameter
passed it'd better use that and not look for another one.

A little crazy yes. The reason is that the NVMe admin queues and NVMe user queues are driven by different request queues. Previously this was patched up with having two queues in the lightnvm core. One for admin and another for user. But was later merged into a single queue.

We can pass both request queues into lightnvm core, but I prefer to handle it in some good way in the nvme-lightnvm integration.
