Apologies for the enormous commit, but I don't see a way to split this
up nicely. In the vast majority of cases it's a simple change. A few
extra places can use TRY instead of manual error checking though. :^)
Only a generic struct definition was present for NVMeSubmission. To
improve type safety and clarity, added an union of NVMeSubmission
structs that are applicable to the command being submitted.
The CAP.TO is 0 based. Even though I don't see that mentioned in the
spec explicitly, all major OSs such as Linux, FreeBSD add 1 to the
CAP.TO while calculating the timeout.
IO::delay was added as a lazy alternative to looping with a timeout
error if the condition was not satisfied. Now that we have the
wait_for_ready function, remove the delay in the reset and start
controller function.
This mostly just moved the problem, as a lot of the callers are not
capable of propagating the errors themselves, but it's a step in the
right direction.
We need to use the volatile keyword when mapping the device registers,
or the compiler may optimize access, which lead to this QEMU error:
pci_nvme_ub_mmiord_toosmall in nvme_mmio_read: MMIO read smaller than
32-bits, offset=0x0
Add a basic NVMe driver support to serenity
based on NVMe spec 1.4.
The driver can support multiple NVMe drives (subsystems).
But in a NVMe drive, the driver can support one controller
with multiple namespaces.
Each core will get a separate NVMe Queue.
As the system lacks MSI support, PIN based interrupts are
used for IO.
Tested the NVMe support by replacing IDE driver
with the NVMe driver :^)
