this isn't entirely correct I think.  iser_finalize_rdma_unaligned_sg
is called from a tasklist, which is softirq context, so you can't use
KM_USER0 there. KM_SOFTIRQ0 should probably work.  Otoh tasklets are not
very scalable because tasklets of a type a serialized against running
at multiple cpus, so maybe you should switch to a different mechanisms.
