a new firmware command.
NVMe controllers may support up to 7 firmware slots for storing of
different firmware revisions. This new firmware command supports
firmware replacement (i.e. firmware download) with or without immediate
activation, or activation of a previously stored firmware image. It
also supports selection of the firmware slot during replacement
operations, using IDENTIFY information from the controller to
check that the specified slot is valid.
Newly activated firmware does not take effect until the new controller
reset, either via a reboot or separate 'nvmecontrol reset' command to the
same controller.

This includes pretty printers for all of the standard NVMe log pages
(Error, SMART/Health, Firmware), as well as hex output for non-standard
or vendor-specific log pages.

invoke it from nvmecontrol(8).
Controller reset will be performed in cases where I/O are repeatedly
timing out, the controller reports an unrecoverable condition, or
when explicitly requested via IOCTL or an nvme consumer. Since the
controller may be in such a state where it cannot even process queue
deletion requests, we will perform a controller reset without trying
to clean up anything on the controller first.
