Sure I can do that.

I sometimes add a line feed because I think it makes the code more readable, But everyone seems to dislike extra white lines so 
I'll remove them.

Actually, I don't think this is worth it. The likelihood that the iopolicy will get corrupted is almost NILL. The only way this 
can happen is if there were a bug in the sysfs code that controls this variable. I've tested this enough to know there's not 
going to be any problem here and I don't think adding a warning to a code path that can only be hit by a programming error is 
needed.

Yes, but it's not clear that nvme_init_identify() is called in the controller reset path.

Hannes asked for a comment here so I'd like to keep this.

I changed my tab stop from 4 to 8 and fixed this.

Thanks for your review. I will follow up with a v7 patch.
