Ah no but I did
        scoped_guard(spin_lock
and it didn't compile so I though only spinlock_irqsave was valid :/

Isn't this done here ? :)

Ah probably yes. And probably in prepare_job() too as it is only
called from vb2 ops callbacks

This would really simplify the code

I know, but it makes backporting the patch to the BSP which has
multi-group support quite impossible. As this doesn't have any
performance impact I would keep it this way to ease backporting

I would refrain from touching that part of the code for little gain :)
