The idea is, by design to have parallel non-blocking paths for rx and tx (that is done as a
part of rx by sending the rx_done command), otherwise trying to send the rx_done
command in the rx isr context is a problem since the tx can wait for the FIFO space and
in worst case, can even lead to a potential deadlock if both the local and remote try
the same. Having said that, instead of queuing this work in to the global queue, this
can be put in to a local glink edge owned queue (or) a threaded isr ?, downstream does the
rx_done in a client specific worker.
