[nvmewin] OFA Release Plan: Release #1 2015 -- Call for patch volunteers

Tue Jun 2 15:35:56 PDT 2015

Raymond, given this, project we are going to wait for QEMU to accept the
virtualization extensions first (
http://git.infradead.org/users/kbusch/qemu-nvme.git/commit/162ec6479447abbd76308f831f36703aa3acc485),
then submit our payload which includes what we previously discussed and the
windows implementation for the nvme doorbell extensions.
