Can you expand this to actually be a real commit log with full
sentences, expanding the NVME field name acronyms and reference
the relevant Sections and Figures in a specific version of the
NVMe specification?

Also some implementation comments:

NVMe has a particularly nasty NABO field in Identify Namespace, which
offsets the boundary. We probably need to reject atomic writes or
severly limit them if this field is set.

Please also read through TP4098(a) and look at the MAM field.  As far
as I can tell the patch as-is assumes it always is set to 1.

Please avoid the overly long line here.

.. and here.
