BTW I think having the target code be able to implement simple copy without 
moving data over the fabric would be a great way of showing off the command.
Do you mean this should be implemented instead as a fabrics backend
instead because fabrics already instantiates and creates a virtual
nvme device? And so this would mean less code?
It would be a lot less code.  In fact I don't think we need any new code
at all.  Just using nvme-loop on top of null_blk or brd should be all
that is needed.
Mikulas,

That begs the question why add this instead of using null_blk with
nvme-loop?
I think the only thing missing would be a handler for the simple copy command.
