Javier González 2f4c9ba23b nvme: export zoned namespaces without Zone Append support read-only
Allow ZNS NVMe SSDs to present a read-only namespace when append is not
supported, instead of rejecting the namespace directly.

This allows (i) the namespace to be used in read-only mode, which is not
a problem as the append command only affects the write path, and (ii) to
use standard management tools such as nvme-cli to choose a different
format or firmware slot that is compatible with the Linux zoned block
device.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
