[17.10 FEAT] Enable NVMe driver - kernel

[bugproxy]

Distributor ToDos:
- Enable Linux kernel configuration options related to the Linux PCI NVMe device driver (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NVME)
- Include NVMe driver in kdump kernel

- Include package "nvme-cli" on s390x -> already available !

[Seth Forshee (sforshee)]

Set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NVME=m in the artful 4.12 and 4.13 kernels. kdump will automatically pull the module into the initrd for the crash kernel if it is needed, no changes are required to make that happen.
