This looks good to me.

To Iwai-san,
I'm review your patch in 'test/kill-tasklet' branch in sound.git[1].
Although I agree with the direction to obsolete tasklet usage with
workqueue, 'in_interrupt()' helper function is used in two lines in
'sound/firewire/amdtp-stream.c' since it's convenient to distinguish
running context (any softirq or user task). We need enough care of
the cases about which below two patches mention:
* 1dba9db0eaa6 ('ALSA: firewire-lib: permit to flush queued packets
only in process context for better PCM period granularity')
* 4a9bfafc64f4 ('ALSA: firewire-lib: Fix stall of process context
at packet error)
As long as I know, we have no helper function to distinguish workqueue
task from user task. The simple replacement is not good way in the case.
I'm investigating better solution but not find yet...
