Enable NVME block device and nvme tool support in petitboot

(background for others: petitboot is the bootloader on OpenPower
machines - it's a linux+initramfs in flash from buildroot on top of OPAL
firmware. You can exit from the petitboot UI into a shell, where a
variety of utilities are available to help rescue a system)

I think this should read more like:

"Add support for building NVME utility - a utility for interacting with
standard NVM Express (optimized PCI Express SSD interface) devices."

Is it POWER specific? It doesn't look like it...

Is this the 0.2 tag? If not, why not? It would seem sensible to include
the most recent released version, or get them to release one with the
support we need.

I wonder why this utility isn't mentioned on
http://nvmexpress.org/resources/linux-driver-information/ ?
