The 2.0 spec provides a report chunk log page that can be retrieved
using the stangard nvme get log page. This replaces the dedicated
get/put bad block table in 1.2.

This patch implements the helper functions to allow targets retrieve the
chunk metadata using get log page. It makes nvme_get_log_ext available
outside of nvme core so that we can use it form lightnvm.

Keith, Christoph, Sagi, Is it okay that these two changes that exposes 
the nvme_get_log_ext fn are carried through Jens' tree after the nvme 
tree for 4.17 has been pulled?

That's okay with me. Alteratively, if you want to split the generic nvme
part out, I can apply that immediately and the API will be in the first
nvme-4.17 pull request.

Will do. I've sent the patch in another mail. Thanks! :)

It’s fine with me.

Matias: do you take that part of the patch out directly on our tree?
