https://github.com/snu-csl/nvmevirt is A Versatile Software-defined Virtual NVMe Device.

The goal is of this spike is to use https://github.com/snu-csl/nvmevirt to emulate nvme in a devstack vm. The emulated nvme must by listed nvme list.

This spike should provide a working xml file  with q35 machine type and vIOMMU enabled so that the listed nvme can be consumed via pci passthrough. All the steps needs to be documented upstream so that developers can use it while testing nvme functionality in DevStack CI for cyborg development.

The spike should be time boxed with in 4-5 days.
