Identify Namespace data structure is returned to the host for that specified
namespace.

If the controller supports the Namespace Management capability and the NSID
field is set to ``NVME_NSID_ALL``, then the controller returns an Identify Namespace
data structure that specifies capabilities that are common across namespaces
for this controller.

See :c:type:`struct nvme_id_ns <nvme_id_ns>` for details on the structure returned.
