We create a configfs attribute in each nvme-fabrics target port to
enable p2p memory use. When enabled, the port will only then use the
p2p memory if a p2p memory device can be found which is behind the
same switch hierarchy as the RDMA port and all the block devices in
use. If the user enabled it and no devices are found, then the system
will silently fall back on using regular memory.

If appropriate, that port will allocate memory for the RDMA buffers
for queues from the p2pmem device falling back to system memory should
anything fail.

Ideally, we'd want to use an NVME CMB buffer as p2p memory. This would
save an extra PCI transfer as the NVME card could just take the data
out of it's own memory. However, at this time, only a limited number
of cards with CMB buffers seem to be available.

Would be useful to comment that we fall to normal sgl allocation.

Nit, IMO would be better to check at the call-site, but not a hard
must...

I still do not fully understand why p2p_dev has to be ctrl-wide and not
per namespace. Sorry to keep bringing this up (again). But if people are
OK with it then I guess I can stop asking about this...

I think that at some point we said that this looks like it should fall
back to host memory for those namespaces.. when we allocate the sgl we
already assigned a namespace to the request (nvmet_req_init).

Aside from my questions the patch looks good.
