    NVMe: Register management handle under nvme class · b3fffdef
    Keith Busch 提交于
    This creates a new class type for nvme devices to register their
    management character devices with. This is so we do not rely on miscdev
    to provide enough minors for as many nvme devices some people plan to
    use. The previous limit was approximately 60 NVMe controllers, depending
    on the platform and kernel. Now the limit is 1M, which ought to be enough
    for anybody.
    
    Since we have a new device class, it makes sense to attach the block
    devices under this as well, so part of this patch moves the management
    handle initialization prior to the namespaces discovery.
