NVMe End-to-End Data Protection
Description of problem:
When activating end-to-end data protection inside qemu NVMe virtual namespace, guest can not read or write anything to discovered /dev/nvme0n1. Guest kernel has NVMe support compiled-in, when booting i get the following messages related to emulated nvme pi-enabled drive inside guest:
```

Same when trying to read anything:
```
/ # dd bs=512 count=1 skip=0 if=/dev/nvme0n1 iflag=direct

```
And write:
