NVMe drives are probably the simplest form of storage you can possibly think of in today's day and age, from a user perspective. Which is a perfect candidate for a proof of concept like that. Not saying that it's not good work.
In those 1500+ commits I see a lot of noise, and some good stuff, I like the alloc stuff, chardevs, buffer management, the async executor stuff looks really good scrolls scrolls, scrolls, okay yes.
A lot of this stuff looks meaningful and I hope to see it merged in the near future.
