So these reported values seem to generate some interest. Adding Akinobu
Mita who also planned to wire them up to the thermal framework. I don't
really know either upper layer so I'm not sure which is the right one,
but with this just like with the previous series I am quite worried that
we add a lot of kernel boilerplate code for information people can
trivially get using nvme-cli.
