It is the actually other way around: the Linux page may be larger than the
controller's. We currently use the smallest possible controller page (4k)
regardless of the host's size due to limitations discovering the CPU's
DMA alignment. PPC was the first to encounter this problem with NVMe.
Otherwise, looks good.
