Ah, one more thing I forgot: I'm still convinced that
p9_virtio_zc_request is wrong in its current (before these patches), and
adding this on top doesn't make it any better.

We'll likely want to fix that too before merging this, giving another
reason to dealy this for 6.4.

p9_virtio_zc_request shouldn't unpin the pages if wait_event_killable is
interrupted, and the flush async cb should call back in the transport to
unpin at that point or something?

I'm probably repeating myself here but I really don't have time in the
day for everything, so that too will have to wait...
(and there's probably more I forgot, but that'll do for now)
