I don't think the system keventd queue is appropriate for completion handling;
I definitely think we should have a MAD layer workqueue.

I think it's OK to have a single workqueue for the whole MAD layer;
it's probably
not scalable to systems with a huge number of HCAs, but the right fix for that
is more likely to be moving to softirq/timer context anyway.
