Actually, nvmecli already has something kind of close, thanks
to Johannes! The 'list-subsys' command is most of the way there. It
currently looks like this, and just needs to go one level deeper to
append the namespaces to the output:

# nvme list-subsys -o json
{
  "Subsystems" : [
    {
      "Name" : "nvme-subsys0",
      "NQN" : "nqn.2014.08.org.nvmexpress:8086108ePHLE7200015N6P4B7335943:ICDPC5ED2ORA6.4T"
    },
    {
      "Paths" : [
        {
          "Name" : "nvme0",
          "Transport" : "pcie",
          "Address" : "0000:03:00.0"
        },
        {
          "Name" : "nvme1",
          "Transport" : "pcie",
          "Address" : "0000:04:00.0"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

While this should readily work for fabrics, I needed to add a new kernel
driver patch to export the PCIe address for the above (patch staged
for 4.17).
