[nvmewin] patch status

[Luse, Paul E]

Wanted to provide a quick update:  I'm nearly ready with the latest patch and due to timing its going to include another key feature - the ability to handle NS creations and deletions.  The mechanism by which a NS comes and goes is beyond the scope of the spec so I won't be including the details of what we're doing at Intel to implement that however the driver framework to handle a dynamic set of NS's is independent of that mechanism and there's no reason not to push that to the community so we can all use it.  It consists of modifications to the LunExt array and the associated counters and components that read/write/use it.  Details will be in the right up when I send it out.  I have some travel this week so once again I'll target later in the week for sending it.  Following its publication some changes will be needed (or should be done I should say) for the format PT IOCTL to take advantage of the new capabilities but rather than bundle even more into this patch I'll hold off on that for another time....

-Paul
