Thanks.  I will give it a go as soon as I have hardware available
(have limited access and yesterday was a holiday here) and address
issues pointed by Christoph earlier.

Also there is a related (because I can reproduce it easily on same
device with nvme_remove) but separate issue with APST implementation.
PID (undergoing nvme_uninit_ctrl) waits for ever at
blk_execute_rq. Controller is in DEAD state and nvme_remove_namespaces
just before device_destroy call has killed all queues which seems to
eventually make blk_execute_rq sleep for ever as it tries to sync
updated latency (0 most likely).
