In cases where the SPDK nvme driver is being used as a validation/test
vehicle, users may need to allocate a currently unused qid that can be
used for creating queues using the raw interfaces. One example would be
testing N:1 SQ:CQ mappings which are supported by PCIe controllers but
not through the standard SPDK nvme driver APIs.
These new functions fulfill this purpose, and ensure that the allocated
qid will not be used by the SPDK driver for any future queues allocated
through the spdk_nvme_ctrlr_alloc_io_qpair API.
