Our hardware supports interrupt. In fact, implementation of compress/decompress
interface of crypto_alg in v1 was done using interrupt:

 compress/decompress:
     send task to hardware
     wait task finished(wait_for_completion_timeout)

 In irq handler:
     complete

However, there is get_cpu/put_cpu in scomp, wait and complete in above has to be
changed to poll:

 compress/decompress:
     send task to hardware
     check if task is finished

The average speed of this zip engine is 7.5GB/s, so it will take about 0.2us to
process 1500B.

Best,
Zhou
