This patch adds the possibility to provide full device path (like
/dev/nvme0n1) when specifying device on top of which pblk instance
should be created/removed.

This makes creation of targets from nvme-cli (or other ioctl based
tools) more unified with other commands in comparison with current
situation where almost all commands uses full device path with except
of lightnvm creation/removal parameter which uses just 'nvme0n1'
naming convention. After this changes both approach will be valid.

Looks good to me.

I don't like this. Why add string parsing to the kernel? Can't this
feature be added to the nvme tool?

Since during target creation/removal in kernel, we already operate on 
strings multiple times (strcmp calls for target types, nvme device, 
target names) my idea was to keep this in the same layer too.

Oh, pardon the terse and rather grumpy review. Let me elaborate:

String parsing is best avoided when possible, and i don't think it's
worth increasing the kernel code size and changing the behavior of the
IOCTL when its fully doable to do this in userspace.

Thanks,
Hans

Matias,
any opinion from your side, whether you would like to do such a changes 
in userspace tool or in lightnvm core? I can go both ways.
Thanks
