I was thinking more of threaded irq handler than a kthread to post the
requests. We went away from post-thread approach a few years ago.


Ok, got it. Why was the kthread approach abandoned?

Simplification mostly, I think. Also, somebody requested that when the
async call returns they would atleast be guaranteed that the request has
been posted not necessarily processed at the remote end.
