Could I trouble you to reflow your comments in the future?  When one
types 'git log', it inserts four spaces before the message, so this
would look like:

    Set the max hw sectors in a namespace's request queue if the nvme device has a
    max data transfer size.

I find that typing !{fmt in vi does the right thing (it defaults to 75
columns), but I don't know which editor you use.

There's something about seeing five close-parens in a row that makes
me uncomfortable.  Maybe I was molested by a lisp compiler as a child
or something, but it tends to indicate an overly complex expression.

Let's see, what might look better ...

	if (ctrl->mdts) {
		int mpsmin = 1 << (NVME_CAP_MPSMIN(readq(&dev->bar->cap)) + 12);
		dev->max_hw_sectors = ((1 << ctrl->mdts) * mpsmin) >> 9;
	}

Alternatively, we could redistribute some of the arithmetic ...

	if (ctrl->mdts)
		dev->max_hw_sectors = 1 << (12 - 9 + ctrl->mdts +
					NVME_CAP_MPSMIN(readq(&dev->bar->cap)));

but that's a little obscure.  Perhaps a little less obscure:

	if (ctrl->mdts) {
		int shift = NVME_CAP_MPSMIN(readq(&dev->bar->cap)) + 12;
		dev->max_hw_sectors = 1 << (ctrl->mdts + shift - 9);
	}
