Chaitanya made me realize that about half of the nvme functions
are using "struct nvme_command c" on the stack, and then memsets
it, and half of the nvme functions are using an initializer.

IMHO, using an initializer is more clear.

memset has to be used if the function needs to reset an
existing struct, but in none of the functions that I've seen,
are we given an existing nvme_command that we need to reset.
All the functions that I've seen declares a new nvme_command
on the stack (so an initializer makes more sense).

What do you think about me unifying this later on?


Kind regards,
