Actually, this doesn't work on a "real" nvme controller, to change CC
values the controller needs to be disabled. So back to the version
you circulated to me in private mail that just sets q->sqes and has a
comment that this is magic for The Apple controller. If/when we get
standardized large SQE support we'll need to discover that earlier or
do a disable/enable dance. Sorry for misleading you down this road and
creating the extra work.
