There is a more general use driver (network dummy) still in the making, It is fully operational, just the documentation of the rust bindings are not finished yet, so it is not merged into the rust tree yet, also I have to rebase it.
Why are you so resistant to writing a real driver that deals with actual hardware? A simple NVMe driver is less than a thousand lines of C. I know the one in the kernel now is ridiculously complicated and has been thoroughly messed up with abstractions to support NVMeoF instead of having a separate driver, but it's really a simple interface at heart.
