With the new kernel the system boots up. I get the following: $ dmesg | grep -i nvme [ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.12.0-rc6+ root=UUID=365f1a9c-9598-4ad5-a387-d02f771767a1 ro quiet splash nvme_core.dyndbg=+p vt.handoff=7 [ 0.000000] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.12.0-rc6+ root=UUID=365f1a9c-9598-4ad5-a387-d02f771767a1 ro quiet splash nvme_core.dyndbg=+p vt.handoff=7 [ 2.228574] nvme nvme0: pci function 0000:04:00.0 [ 2.444448] nvme 0000:04:00.0: NVME_QUIRK_NO_APST [ 2.444449] nvme 0000:04:00.0: disabling APST.

And indeed, this time APST is disabled! $ sudo nvme get-feature -f 0x0c -H /dev/nvme0 get-feature:0xc (Autonomous Power State Transition), Current value:00000000 Autonomous Power State Transition Enable (APSTE): Disabled So whatever it was you changes works! I hope it will be in the standard kernel soon. Thanks a lot for taking the time to look into this, in particular because I seem to be the only person affected by it.
