[PATCH 1/2] nvme: add support for Apple NVMe controller

[Stephan Günther]

Some controllers may require ordered split transfers even on 64bit
machines, e.g. Apple's NVMe controller as found in the MacBook8,1 and
MacBookAir7,1 (256/512GB models).

This patch enforces ordered split transfers on 64bit platforms, which
works around that issue for all controllers. As pointed out by Christoph
[1] there should be no performance impact due to that modification.
