I'm in favor of removing all uses of the tasklet mechanism because of
the disadvantages of that mechanism. See also:
* "Eliminating tasklets" (https://lwn.net/Articles/239633/).
* "Modernizing the tasklet API" (https://lwn.net/Articles/830964/).
* Sebastian Andrzej Siewior's opinion about tasklets

Thanks,

Bart.
