Maybe it's just me, but there is something (unrelatedness) about these
fields which makes packing all these into a single container feel bit 
unnatural (or do you already have a good name for such struct?). 

So how about we split the nvme_alloc_user_request into two.
That will also serve the purpose. 
Here is a patch that creates
- new nvme_alloc_user_request with 5 parameters
- new nvme_map_user_request with 8 parameters
