Keith Busch 84fef62d13 nvme: check admin passthru command effects
The NVMe standard provides a command effects log page so the host may
be aware of special requirements it may need to do for a particular
command. For example, the command may need to run with IO quiesced to
prevent timeouts or undefined behavior, or it may change the logical block
formats that determine how the host needs to construct future commands.

This patch saves the nvme command effects log page if the controller
supports it, and performs appropriate actions before and after an admin
passthrough command is completed. If the controller does not support the
command effects log page, the driver will define the effects for known
opcodes. The nvme format and santize are the only commands in this patch
with known effects.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
