As I remember _Static_assert is from C11, not
the older C99.
As I understand head/sys/dev/nvme/nvme.h use by
C++ code could now reject attempts to use
_Static_assert .
There have been at least one old bugzilla report
for such. An example is 205453 (back around
2015-Dec).

(The context was a C++ file head/contrib/libcxxrt/guard.cc so C++'s
static_assert was used instead and -std=c++11 was added for the
library in question [libcxxrt].)
Unless head/sys/dev/nvme/nvme.h is not to be used from
C++ code: use of _Static_assert in the header would appear
to be a problem.
