Marta Rybczynska 65e68edce0 nvme: allow 64-bit results in passthru commands
It is not possible to get 64-bit results from the passthru commands,
what prevents from getting for the Capabilities (CAP) property value.

As a result, it is not possible to implement IOL's NVMe Conformance
test 4.3 Case 1 for Fabrics targets [1] (page 123).

This issue has been already discussed [2], but without a solution.

This patch solves the problem by adding new ioctls with a new
passthru structure, including 64-bit results. The older ioctls stay
unchanged.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
