Do we have defined sysfs attributes for NVMe devices nowadays?
/sys/block/nvme0n1/uuid
That's only supported for NVMe 1.1 and higher devices, and optional.
For older or stupid devices we need to support the algorithm based
on the serial attribute from nvme_fill_device_id_scsi_string() in
drivers/nvme/host/scsi.c.
It's even worse. NGUID was defined for 1.2 devices and higher. 1.1
devices should have EUI-64 at:
 
  /sys/block/nvmeXnY/eui

1.2 devices will have either uuid or eui (or both).

The majority of devices in circulation today are 1.0, and need to concat
these three entries to make a unique identifier:

  /sys/block/nvmeXnY/device/serial
  /sys/block/nvmeXnY/device/model
  /sys/block/nvmeXnY/nsid
