What's the difference between this and sanitize? Should we be doing both?

[edit] sanitize runs on the controller level while format works on the namespace level. So I suppose formatting won't touch any pages not allocated to a namespace.

I wish there was _any_ way to find out which NVME controllers supported which operation before you buy them!
