This seems like a giant hammer to do this for all NVMe devices,
why not quirk the specific ones?

The calling conventions of this function are rather strange by
mixing up two very different things.
I think two PCI-level helpers to disable LTR and return the status
it ways in and to enable LTR would be really nice to have here.

Overly long line here.
