NVMe passthrough via MFI interface. Current MegaRAID product supports
different types of encapsulation via the MFI framework.
NVMe native command should be framed by application and it should be
embedded in MFI as payload. The driver will provide interface to send
the MFI frame along with the payload (in this case, payload is NVMe
native command) to the firmware. Driver already has an existing, similar
interface for SATA and SMP passthrough.
1. Driver will pass MFI command to the firmware if the latter supports
NVMe encapsulated processing (not all SAS3.5 firmware supports this
feature).
2. Driver exposes sysfs entry support_nvme_encapsulation. This is
required for backward compatibility for applications using earlier
driver versions that did not process IOCTL frames and could result in
host hang.
This is already fixed as part of commit

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
