With the mthca driver, CQ is definitely called directly from the CQ
event interrupt. ehca may be different -- I need to look at the code.
The _ni variant is used to handle low-level drivers that may not be
calling back from interrupt context. But it is certainly allowed to
call back in interrupt context and that is definitely what mthca does.
