Maybe you could get started by accessing a register of the NVMHCI (like
a version register or similar). For this I would recommend to perform
the following steps:

1. Get Genode master
2. Start QEMU with NVME enabled (I would recommend NOVA as kernel)
3. Find and map the PCI I/O memory resource of the controller
4. Take advantage of Genode's MMIO framework and read a register of your
choice

Please feel free to ask questions,

Sebastian
