The problem is that by doing the agressive polling we can keep one
CPU busy just running the irq handler and starve processes on that
CPU if an NVMe queue servers multiple CPUs.
That's why I had the previous idea of one irq thread per cpu that
is assigned to the irq. We'd have to encode a relative index into
the hardirq handler return value which we get from bits encoded in
the NVMe command ID, but that should be doable. At that point we
shouldn't need the cond_resched. I can try to hack that up, but
I'm not an expert on the irq thread code.
