Historically other things would break in nasty ways if you tried
to do crypto in hard IRQ contexts, e.g., overwritten kmap slots
back when we had individual slots for each context, but I don't
think we've ever found anyone crazy enough to do that to warrant
a run-time check.

I'd just leave it out for now.

Thanks,
