Keith Busch bc840b21a2 nvme: remove virtual boundary for sgl capable devices
The nvme virtual boundary is only required for the PRP format. Devices
that can use SGL for DMA don't need it for IO queues. Drop reporting it
for such devices; rdma fabrics controllers will continue to use the
limit as they currently don't report any boundary requirements, but tcp
and fc never needed it in the first place so they get to report no
virtual boundary.

Applications may continue to align to the same virtual boundaries for
optimization purposes if they want, and the driver will continue to
decide whether to use the PRP format the same as before if the IO allows
it.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
