Poor performance on Intel P3600 NVME driver

[Mihai-Alexandru Vintila]

@ Chuck Tuffli - error was caused by older firmware + the fact that the
nvme controller didn't negotiate on x16 so i had to force the pcie to x16
from bios. With the update is fixed, i've just added it to be indexed since
i couldn't find anything on google.

@Barney Wolff it's a new pool with only changes recordsize=4k and
compression=lz4 . On linux test is on ext4 with default values. Penalty is
pretty high. Also there is a read penalty for read as well between ufs and
zfs. Even on nvmecontrol perftest you can see the read penalty it's not
normal to have same result for both write and read
