Re: [PULL 32/56] hw/block/nvme: split setup and register for namespace

In NVMe, namespace is being attached to process I/O.  We register NVMe
namespace to a controller via nvme_register_namespace() during
nvme_ns_setup().  This is main reason of receiving NvmeCtrl object
instance to this function to map the namespace to a controller.

To make namespace instance more independent, it should be split into two
parts: setup and register.  This patch split them into two differnt
parts, and finally nvme_ns_setup() does not have nothing to do with
NvmeCtrl instance at all.

This patch is a former patch to introduce NVMe subsystem scheme to the
existing design especially for multi-path.  In that case, it should be
split into two to make namespace independent from a controller.

In latest master, I can no longer access NVMe devices from edk2. Git 
bisect pointed me to this commit.

To reproduce:

  $ ./build/qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -pflash 
build/pc-bios/edk2-x86_64-code.fd -drive 
file=image.raw,if=none,id=d,snapshot=on -device nvme,serial=1234,drive=d 
-nographic -net none

You will see that before this commit, edk2 is able to enumerate the 
block device, while after this commit it does not find it.


good:
