Can you split all the new structures in nvme.h into a separate patch
at the beginning of the series?

Please add a NVME_IDENTIFY_DATA_SIZE define to nvme.h (and I'd slighty
prefer to define it to 4096 instead of the odd SZ_4K). And also replace
all the places where we use a magic 4096 for the identify payload with
it.

No need for the dynamic allocation. Just do a straight nvmet_copy_to_sgl
from the stack for each element.

E.g. something like

struct nvme_ns_identifier_hdr nih;

...

memset(&nih, 0, sizeof(nih));
nih.nidt = NVME_NIDT_UUID;
nih.nidl = NVME_NIDT_UUID_LEN;
status = nvmet_copy_to_sgl(req, off, &nih, sizeof(nih));
if (status)
goto out_put_ns;
off += sizeof(nih);

status = nvmet_copy_to_sgl(req, off, &ns->uuid,
sizeof(ns->uuid));
if (status)
goto out_put_ns;
off += sizeof(ns->uuid);
