But isn't what is cared about here - the SA thing needs to send a
request to user space and collect a reply, it runs the protocol
backwards from normal.

It is not a notification because the request actually needs a reply,
and ACK's don't help because the reply has content.

It does not use the NOTIFICATION/REQUEST/REPLY sequence because it
does not care about reliability of delivering the REQUEST to user
space.
