When the kernel is build with CONFIG_NVME_MULTIPATH enabled and an NVMe
where the driver exposes its controller separately is used, chreipl node
on a mount point of the NVMe fails. The failure occurs because chreipl
tries to get the function_id from the NVMe's nvmeXnY block device via
the path '/sys/block/nvmeXnY/device/device/function_id' which does not
exist.
The underlying problem is that with NVMe multipath support the PCI
function is not associated directly with a particular NVMe namespace but
instead with the entire NVMe device which may host multiple NVMe
namespaces. The correct way to get from the block device to the
underlying PCI device and its function ID is then to extract the device
name i.e. the 'nvmeX' part from 'nvmeXnY' and use that to get the
function ID via '/sys/class/nvme/nvme<X>/device/function_id'.

Support is added to lsreipl to detect the nvme reipl type and list the
appropriate parameters.
Support is added to chreipl to specify and populate sysfs reipl entries
with nvme device targets.
