[Bug 1864965] Re: Add Intel RAID/RST detection with NVMe devices

[Woodrow Shen]

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
  A new discover-remapped-nvme.sh supports to detect if Intel RAID/RST
  mode is activated as NVMe devices are remapped to AHCI memory space.
  Based on this, ubiquity installer can take advantage of detection and
  handle such a case with improved user experience.
  
  [Test Case]
  
  There are several ways to test this case, but one of them will be
  integration test:
  
- In ubiquity, hw-detect will be sourced, and then import disk-detect.sh to call remapped_nvme_probe(). Then use the following command to get debconf value:
+ In ubiquity, hw-detect will be sourced, and then ubi-partman executes
+ discover-remapped-nvme.sh to call remapped_nvme_probe(). Then use db.get
+ ('disk-detect/activate_remapped_nvme') to get boolean value.
+ 
+ To verify value can be issuing debconf command:
  $ echo "get disk-detect/activate_remapped_nvme" | sudo debconf-communicate
  0 True
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
  Some case will be different, especially the system doesn't have AHCI
  when RAID mode was set in BIOS, so that PCI attribute "remapped_nvme" is
  gone.
  
  [Other Info]
  
  To upstream to debian sid is another WIP item.
