> This borrows some code from NAPI and implements a polled completion
> mode for block devices. The idea is the same as NAPI - instead of
> doing the command completion when the irq occurs, schedule a dedicated
> softirq in the hopes that we will complete more IO when the iopoll
> handler is invoked. Devices have a budget of commands assigned, and will
> stay in polled mode as long as they continue to consume their budget
> from the iopoll softirq handler. If they do not, the device is set back
> to interrupt completion mode.
