Thank you! Applied, thanks.
Hi Jens, Please pick up when convenient. This PR officially deprecates the lightnvm subsystem and prepares it to be removed from kernel 5.15 and onward. The lightnvm subsystem has been superseeded by the recently standardized NVMe Zoned Namespace (ZNS) Command Set specification. Together with other advancements in NVMe, it is now possible to implement all of the features that the original OCSSD work introduced. Thanks for enabling me to contribute the subsystem. It has been an incredible journey. While the subsystem itself had not had that many users outside of academia and initial PoCs, it has been instrumental in gaining enough mind-share in the industry, which ultimately has allowed ZNS SSDs to emerge. Thank you! All, Thanks to all of you that has been contributing over the years. It has been a pleasure working with you. I look forward to continue working with many of you on ZNS and other emerging technologies.
