I am not even sure if it is possible to use blkdev to boot. (Maybe someone has
made this work with NVME – again when I wrote that code I never considered
using it for boot devices.)
It's definitely possible, as the Virtio Block driver (vioblk) uses
blkdev and supports both boot and (I believe) dump.
Yes, at least NVMe dump was fixed and is fully working (see #9249); and
of course we can boot off NVMe, doing just that on bare metal and VMs.
