Is it possible to load the built-in NVMe driver as a module?

Hi support,

    This is HighPoint, we are a manufacturer of storage solutions. Recently, some of our customers reported that HighPoint SSD7000 NVMe series products cannot be used normally in Arch Linux.

    After our analysis, it was confirmed that Arch Linux integrated the built-in NVMe driver into the kernel, so that the third-party NVMe driver we provided could not be loaded preferentially.

    Is it possible to load the built-in NVMe driver as a module?
    In this way, third-party NVMe drivers can be supported on the one hand, and existing functions are not affected on the other hand.

    Looking forward to your reply, thank you.

The forums aren't really the correct place for this as most of the developers rarely (if ever) visit.

You'll probably have more luck posting a feature request for the kernel on the bug tracker...
