Based on what I've heard about these, even if you happen to have one that can 
emulate a standard SATA device doing so will seriously hamstring the 
performance.
It'd be pretty cool to have support for them, and *someone* keeps suggesting 
that I take a stab at adding a NVMe driver :), but I just don't feel like I 
have the time.  I don't suppose there's anyone else out there that has taken a 
look at what it'd take to support them?
