This sounds like BLK_COPY_MAX_SEGMENTS is misnamed.  Right now this is
not a max segments, but the exact number of segments required.

Please submit this whitespace fix separately.

... and this doesn't belong into a NVMe patch.  I'd also expect that
the block layer would verify this before sending of the request to the driver.

Note that we've usually kept adding new protocol bits to nvme.h separate
from the implementation in the host or target code.
