Obvious in this configuration there are no remote completions (verified
it).

do you complete on a remote CPU if you limit the queues to one (this is
untested of course)?

nvme0n1/ completed   11913011 remote    6718563 56.40%

yes, but how is this relevant? I thought Jens complain was about the
additional indirection via the softirq context

-		rq->q->mq_ops->complete(rq);
+	blk_mq_trigger_softirq(rq);

and not the remote completion path. I can benchmark it out but I don't
know if it's really helping in the discussion.
