Please explain what the problem is and what "NVMe completions" means
given that you are talking about posted writes.

If you have a link to an erratum write-up it would certainly help.

This looks completely broken to me, if the controller can't guarantee
PCIe transactions ordering it is toast, there is not even a point
considering mainline merging.

I assume this is a joke even though it does not make me laugh.
