I expected only that you might find results interesting, where I target
the following:
1) retest on latest kernel
2) compare against NVMEoF
3) retest using register_always=N

On the iops graph, where I increase number of simultaneous fio jobs up to 128
(initiator has 64 CPUs), NVMEoF tends to repeat the same curve, staying always
below IBNBD. So even this is a scalability problem, it can be seen on NVMEoF
runs also. That's why I posted these results to draw someone's attention.
