Hm, if we're really spinning here, the current alternative is that
we'd run a cpu 100% in irq context, which has its own problems. If the
interrupt thread has other scheduler issues, I think that indicates
yet another task needs to handle completions. Perhaps escalate to the
irq_poll solution Sagi advocated for if the threaded handler observes
need_resched() is true.
