Verified with the 4.8.0-36-generic kernel on an AWS i3 instance, all the NVMe drives initialized successfully. Checked the git log and verified the initial commit had been fully reverted (see comment 7).

If one of the NVMe drives contains the root filesystem, the instance won't boot. [Test Case] Boot an AWS instance with a NVMe drive. It will fail to initialize the NVMe drive(s), and errors will appear in the system log (if the system boots at all). With a patched kernel, all NVMe drives are initialized and enumerated and work properly. [Regression Potential] Patching the NVMe driver may cause problems on other systems using NVMe drives.
