I have two devices, one formatted 4k, the other 512. The 4k is used as

unmounting the scratch dev in xfstests generic/068. The bug looks like
nvme was trying to use an SGL that doesn't map correctly to a PRP.

I'm guessing it's some of the coalescing settings, since the driver is
now using the generic block rq mapping.

Ok, sounds right. I mentioned in a way earlier review it doesn't look
like a request that doesn't conform to a PRP list would get split anymore,
and this test seems to confirm that.

Can we create something that will allow a driver to add DMA constraints to
a request queue with the rules of a PRP list?
