The reg_read32() is non-blocking for pcie, so this is safe to call from that
driver's irq handler. The other transports block on register reads, though, so
they can't call this from an atomic context. The TCP context looks safe, but
I'm not sure about RDMA or FC.

Since the above mask + shift is duplicated with nvme_handle_aen_notice(), an
inline helper function seems reasonable.
