NVMe namespace management support
70%
Description
The creation and deletion of namespaces is not supported. This will add that support.
The management of namespaces will be enabled by two new subcommands to nvmeadm:
nvmeadm create <nvme device> <size> <block size>
Will create a new namespace on <nvme device> of capacity <size> with a block size of <block size>. <size> can be suffixed to indicate b locks, k ilobutes, m egabytes or g igabytes. <block size> must be a supported block size, which can be listed using the nvmeadm identify command, typically 512 or 4096.
nvmeadm delete <nvme namespace>
<nvme namespace> can either be the controller Eg nvme0, in which case all the namespaces on the controller are deleted, or a specific namespace Eg nvme0/1

I completed this work, but was never able to full test it - due to lack of hardware.
