I guess that means this won't handle creating a large namespace
from fragmented unallocated space after various create+delete
scenarios. Capping the create size to the max contiguous extent may not
be so bad, but it may be confusing when UNVMCAP exceeds the largest
possible namespace you can create when we have no good way to report
the max possible creation size.
