If any faulty application issues an NVMe Encapsulated commands to HBA which doesn't support NVMe protocol then driver should return the command as invalid with below message. "HBA doesn't supports NVMe. Hence rejecting NVMe Encapsulated request." Otherwise below page fault kernel panic will be observed while building the PRPs as their is no PRP pools allocated for the HBA which doesn't support NVMe drives.
