I don't really understand what the kthread is needed for. You probably
thought about multiple options and ended up with this, but having
a comment in front of it might be helpful.

I used a kthread because the request function of a block device driver must be
non-blocking, and ps3stor_read_write_sectors() calls wait_for_completion().

Ok, but why does it call wait_for_completion() then?
I thought you could end_that_request_* from the interrupt handler instead.
