  Thanks Stefan's comments. We only want Qemu as NVMe-oF initiator to
  access remote target's resource.

  I checked the block/nvme.c and hw/block/nvme.c code, which seems do
  not support NVMe-oF . If i am wrong please correct me.

  If Qemu support NVMe-oF initiator, please share me how to use it. 
  If Qemu does not support it, please tell me if community has plan 
  to implement it. thanks a lot!
