calling context of scsi_end_request() always hard IRQ or sometimes different?

Hey James, Martin,

I'm in the process of fixing a few issues with the RNG and one thing
that surprised me is that scsi_end_request() appears to be called from
hard IRQ context rather than some worker or soft IRQ as I assumed it
would be. That's fine, and I can deal with it, but what I haven't yet
been able to figure out is whether it's _always_ called from hard IRQ,
or whether it's sometimes from hard IRQ and sometimes not, and so I
should handle both cases in the thing I'm working on?

And if the answer turns out to be, "I don't know; that's really
complicated and..." just say so, and I'll just try to work out the whole
function graph.

Jason
