Ok so looking at debug_kmap_atomic it seems that KM_IRQ0 is ok to use in all
cases, in_irq(), !irqs_disabled() and !in_interrupt(), so I should be safe.  If
you still don't like it, would something like this be acceptable?

if (in_interrupt() || irqs_disabled()) {
	if (in_irq())
		type = KM_IRQ0;
	else if (!irqs_disabled())
		type = KM_SOFTIRQ0;
	else
		type = KM_IRQ0;
} else {
	type = KM_USER0;
}

Hrm, you'd think somebody would have had this problem before and already come up
with a nice helper, oh well.  Thanks,

Josef
