Please write more words in a line, about 70 characters in a line.

nits: please move these 2 above the line "length -= (page_size - offset);"

use DIV_ROUND_UP()

I think we should adjust nprps before the comparison here.

nprps += num_pages - 1;

Then we need only do: dev->prp_pool = memalign(page_size, nprps << 3)?

and no need to change this line, but we need change the while (nprps) {} loop.

I think we need use ndev->pagesize instead of (1 << 12), but
ndev->pagesize is initialized in nvme_configure_admin_queue(), so we
need move the initialization of ndev->pagesize out of that function
and do it before the memalign() here.
