My initial approach till v3 was to collate header and payload in a pre-allocated
scratch buffer and then doing a single kfifo_in so as to avoid to worry about workqueue
empting the kfifo and going to sleep right after a header has been read and a payload is
in flight, but that, as pointed out indirectly by Jim Quinlan led to an unneeded memcpy...
in fact I was copying in/out the fifo a total of 2*h + 3*p bytes, instead with this handling
I can avoid such intermediate collation step and stick to the bare minimum needed 2*h + 2*p
bytes memcopies.

On one side I was worried to make the code complex to avoid just a few bytes of memcpy, on the other
side the redundant memcpy is on the ISR side and also I cannot assume that the unneded p bytes
copied there are necessarily small ... being SMCI extensible you could possibly add a proprietary
(or not) protocol with jumbo payloads of KBs so that the p-bytes redundant copy is no more so
negligible.

At the end I did not find so horrible and complex the new in flight handling (tested introducing
horrible mdelays in between the kfifo_inS inside the ISR...), so I went for that.

I like the solution you propose down below, but the fact that it relies on the inner kfifo function
is in fact a show stopper being based on the inernal api (and I have not found other viable ways to
abuse the kfifo API :D ... as of now)...I wonder if it is not worth propose upstream (not in this series)
a generic kfifo "light" scatter/gather in/out interface for this particular usecase; _kfifo_dma* seem to use
the full fledged scatter/gather kernel structs, but that's certainly overkill for this scenario.

Thanks

As said above.
