It is possible yes. "Advisable" I think so. Thomas knows better than I what performance would be.
FWIW I have been working on converting kmaps to kmap_local. Most of the instances don't schedule AFAICT.
What I really don't want to see is any kmap'ings handed to another thread. I am working hard to eliminate the use of kmap for that use. Is that going to be a problem?
