The SCSI-to-NVMe translations were added to assist storage applications utilizing SG_IO transitioning to NVMe. It was always recommended, however, to use native NVMe for device management as too much is lost in translation and the maintenance burden in keeping this kludgey layer around has been neglected such that much of the translations are completely broken. This patch removes SG_IO handling from NVMe to avoid any confusion regarding maintenance support for this interface. The config option for NVMe SCSI emulation has been disabled by default since 4.5. The driver has supported native nvme user commands since the beginning, and native tooling is publicly available for use or as reference for anyone writing their own tools, so there's no excuse for hanging onto a broken crutch.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
