I'll do this if no one objects.

Would there be any issues processing a local MAD on the HCA in a tasklet?
(I'm not close to the code at the moment.)  If not, then that sounds good to
me.

I do think that we'd want to define whether a client could sleep in their
callbacks or not, and it would be nice if it were consistent, regardless of
how the callback were invoked.
