Sorry, I didn't see your reply earlier.
I had the same issues as you, and concluded that you need a custom driver, as the Apple NVMe driver does not provide raw access to the NVMe device.
My code is still in the internal process of being open-sourced. But once it's cleared, it'll be released on the xNVMe repo: https://github.com/OpenMPDK/xNVMe
