NVMe SSD's

Curious if anyone has taken the plunge to play with nvme-based ssd's 
under linux here?  Particularly around raid.

Not finding a lot pertaining to them that is positive toward linux on 
the tubes, and I'm looking to reproduce my usual raid1+luks+lvm atop 
them, so feedback on doing so would be appreciated if anyone has comment.

I'm building a new desktop, and considering using them in place if they 
can boot, as the system is built more as a server as a vm farm for my 
lab so the iops would be appreciated when it's also my desktop.  I see 
reference to EFI-based raid, which makes me cringe, but seem mdraid 
fakeraid can handle them to some extents.

Thanks!
