NVM Express block device (BLK_DEV_NVME) CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NVME: The NVM Express driver is for solid state drives directly connected to the PCI or PCI Express bus. If you know you don't have one of these, it is safe to answer N. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called nvme.
