This eliminates the "queue_mode" configuration's "nvme" mode. There
wasn't anything NVMe-specific about that mode. It was named "nvme"
because it was a short name for the mode. But the entire point of the
mode was to optimize the multipath target for underlying devices that
are _not_ SCSI-based. Devices that aren't SCSI have no need for the
various SCSI device handler (scsi_dh) specific code in DM multipath.
But rather than narrowly define this scsi_dh vs not branching in terms
of "nvme": invert the logic so that we're just checking whether a
multipath device is layered on SCSI devices with scsi_dh attached.
This allows any future storage technology to avoid scsi_dh specific code
in the multipath target too.

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.
