I noticed the odd renaming in sysfs and though about gettind rid

nvme-cli would break if it sees files that start with nvme in /dev/.

Ah, didn't know that. I'll fix nvme-cli to handle this.

We can still use a different naming convention for the multipath handles.

/dev/nvmN ?

Looks safe.

BTW, considered persistent nameing rules to symlink these from
/dev/disk/by-id/? May need to add an attribute to the multipath object
to assist that.
