Introduce the NVME fabrics option NVME_OPT_HIDDEN_NS to allow a host controller to be created without any user visible or internally usable namespace devices. That is, if set, this option will result in the controller having no character device and no block device for any of its namespaces. This option should be used only when the nvme controller will be managed using passthrough commands using the controller character device, either by the user or by another device driver.
