The nvme device coredump creates the following coredump files.

- regs: NVMe controller registers (00h to 4Fh)
- sq<qid>: Submission queue
- cq<qid>: Completion queue
- telemetry-ctrl-log: Telemetry controller-initiated log (if available)
- data: Empty

The reason for an empty 'data' file is to provide a uniform way to notify
the device coredump is no longer needed by writing the 'data' file.

Since all existing drivers using the device coredump provide a 'data' file
if the nvme device coredump doesn't provide it, the userspace programs need
to know which driver provides what coredump file.
