Normally we use

 */

style comments.  I'm not sure it is worth bothering to change it in this
driver, though.

This isn't safe on highmem systems.  At very least we need a depends on
!HIGHMEM for the drivers selecting this core driver.  If you feel like
doing the work it should use scsi_kmap_atomic_sg and
scsi_kunmap_atomic_sg.

This looks odd.  We should never need a void cast for container_of.

This is a no-op..

&& goes on the first line, no need for the inner braces on the second
line.

Should be static.

Should be marked const.

The irqs lookup should probably go into the callers that need it.

No need for the inner braces.

EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for internals like this and fdomain_destroy.
