[PATCH 2/2] lightnvm: enable metadata to be sent to device

From: Javier GonzÃlez
Date: Tue Apr 26 2016 - 10:35:40 EST


Enable metadata to be sent to the device through the metadata field on
the physical rw nvme command. When a single ppa is sent to the device, a
64-bit integer can be sent as metadata; when a ppa list is sent, a
64-bit integer list mapping to the ppa list can be used to send
metadata.
