I see how they are executed in softirq context, but I don't see how the
above commit could have introduce that. It literally just refactored the
existing checks.

Well, there isn't really much of a point in bouncing to a softirq
context. The patch below cleans the mmc completion code up to
avoid that internally, but for that it uses an API that right now
isn't intended for that kind of use. I'm not sure yet it it just
needs updated documentation or maybe a different API. Jens, any
comments? Sagi, this might also make sense for nvme-tcp, doesn't it?
