This works well with my NVMe disk which supports atomic writes however the only
concern is what if in case t->chunk_sectors is also defined for NVMe disk?
I see that nvme_set_chunk_sectors() initializes the chunk_sectors for NVMe.
The value which is assigned to lim->chunk_sectors in nvme_set_chunk_sectors()
represents "noiob" (i.e. Namespace Optimal I/O Boundary). My disk has "noiob"
set to zero but in case if it's non-zero then would it break the above logic
for NVMe atomic writes?

Yeah, I think that I need to change the code to account for the bottom device setting chunk_sectors.

Thanks,
John
