Ok, for reference, the code calling yield is stuff like this buried in
cryptoapi:

static void update(struct crypto_tfm *tfm,
struct scatterlist *sg, unsigned int nsg)
{
unsigned int i;

for (i = 0; i < nsg; i++) {
char *p = crypto_kmap(sg[i].page, 0) + sg[i].offset;
tfm->__crt_alg->cra_digest.dia_update(crypto_tfm_ctx(tfm),
p,
sg[i].length);
crypto_kunmap(p, 0);
crypto_yield(tfm);
}
}

It's basically trying to be friendly. Since we can't really detect
when it's safe to do such yields, we should be explicitly flag the
uses where its ok. Something like this:
