Pre-existing issue, but all but len here should be unsigned.

I don't think this works, cur is a nvme_ns_id_desc pointer, so it will
be increased by len multiplied by the size of it.

I think this would work muc heasier if you'd do away with remain,
use and just use cur locally, and instead maintain an offet;  Something
like:

	offset = 0;
	do {
		cur = data + offset;

		...

		offset += len;
	} while (offset < NVME_IDENTIFY_DATA_SIZE - sizeof(*cur));
