As far I can tell, the main difference between nvme-tcp and FC/NVMe,
nvme-tcp has not a FW or a big driver which filter out some noise from a
misbehaving controller. I haven't really checked the other transports
but I wouldn't surprised they share the same properties as FC/NVMe.

Okay, I'll review all the relevant code and see what could made more
generic and consistent.

Though I think nvme-tcp plays in a different league as it is exposed to
normal networking traffic and this is a very hostile environment.

Thanks,
Daniel
