Current lightnvm and pblk implementation does not care about NVMe max
data transfer size, which can be smaller than 64*K=256K. There are
existing NVMe controllers which NVMe max data transfer size is lower
that 256K (for example 128K, which happens for existing NVMe
controllers which are NVMe spec compliant). Such a controllers are not
able to handle command which contains 64 PPAs, since the the size of
DMAed buffer will be above the capabilities of such a controller.

I think I can pick this up. I'll let Javier/Hans rereview.

Given Javier's feedback on broken existing mdts implementations. When they are brought to light, we may want to add in a quirk list to update MDTS accordingly. Javier, will this address the issue you have regarding using mdts?
