I think this really need a comment explaining what is going on, including
why not translating anything works in this specific case.

This function should also be under CONFIG_COMPAT, with a

#define nvme_compat_ioctl NULL

in the #else branch.

This should not be exposed in the UAPI header. I think it should just
go into the #ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT block in core.c near the comment and
the compat_ioctl handler.
