Limit means you want me to drop requests after a certain limit (i.e.

Yep, there's no point in holding onto lots of requests if the
hardware simply can't catch up.

I would have to start an extra thread that removes requests from
crypto_enqueue_request and enqueues them into kspu_enqueue_work_item.

I'm probably missing something but why couldn't you pull the requests
from crypto_enqueue_request in the same place where you pull requests
currently? In other words couldn't you just pull both queues?

Cheers,
