Keith,
This all looks pretty good to me. Only nit I have is:

Since we will definitely need to support the CRC32C variants, the
nvme_pi_type1_ prefix is a bit too generic. Wish we had gone with Type 4
and 5 like I originally proposed in SCSI. Not a big fan of this "almost
exactly like T10 Type 1 except for all these differences" situation that
NVMe ended up with.
Anyway. So I think the NVMe-specific format helpers need to at the very
least capture that they are for the CRC64 case.
Other than that it looks OK.
