OK - I've been so focused on SRAR that I didn't think of the SRAO case.
But even there it seems odd to use user return notifier. We'd like the
SRAO work item to be executed promptly - but we don't care where it
is executed. So the "execute on this cpu" part of user return notifiers
doesn't quite fit.

Is there a concept of "high priority work queue"?
