Intel NVMe controllers have a slow path for I/Os that span a 128KB stripe boundary but ZFS limits ashift, which is derived from d_stripesize, to 13 (8KB) so we limit the stripesize reported to geom(8) to 4KB.
This may result in a small number of additional I/Os to require splitting in nvme(4), however the NVMe I/O path is very efficient so these additional I/Os will cause very minimal (if any) difference in performance or CPU utilisation.
This can be controller by the new sysctl kern.nvme.max_optimal_sectorsize.
