NVMe: avoid kmalloc/kfree for smaller IO Currently we allocate an nvme_iod for each IO, which holds the sg list, prps, and other IO related info. Set a threshold of 2 pages and/or 8KB of data, below which we can just embed this in the per-command pdu in blk-mq. For any IO at or below NVME_INT_PAGES and NVME_INT_BYTES, we save a kmalloc and kfree. For higher IOPS, this saves up to 1% of CPU time.
