Hi Logan, what is this event here?

Would be useful to comment that we fall to normal sgl allocation.

Nit, IMO would be better to check at the call-site, but not a hard
must...

I still do not fully understand why p2p_dev has to be ctrl-wide and not
per namespace. Sorry to keep bringing this up (again). But if people are
OK with it then I guess I can stop asking about this...

I think that at some point we said that this looks like it should fall
back to host memory for those namespaces.. when we allocate the sgl we
already assigned a namespace to the request (nvmet_req_init).

Aside from my questions the patch looks good.
