The only generic interface to execute asynchronously in the BH context is
tasklet; however, it's marked deprecated and has some design flaws. To
replace tasklets, BH workqueue support was recently added. A BH workqueue
behaves similarly to regular workqueues except that the queued work items
are executed in the BH context.

This patch converts drivers/infiniband/* from tasklet to BH workqueue.

s/infiniband/mmc

Will fix it in v2.

For dw_mmc:
Performance numbers look good FWIW.

(I'd call that equivalent).
This is on a RK3399.
I would prefer most of the naming to change from "work" to "workqueue" in the driver
code.
Apart from that:

 Thank you very much for testing and the review. Will have your
concerns addressed in v2.
