And this is for the scheme when single CQE is used with bits
refactoring into "_s64 res64" instead of res/flags.
41 bits for zone-append completion = in bytes, sufficient to cover
chunk_sectors size zone
1+22 bits for zone-append bytes-copied = can cover 4MB bytes copied
(single I/O is capped at 4MB in NVMe)
