AFAIK, this path is rarely (never?) actually used. I think all the
drivers we have can post directly from userspace.

Oh, interesting.  Is there any chance to deprecate it?  Not having
to care for the uvers command would really help with some of the
upcoming changes I have in my mind.

Hmm, we'd need a survey of the userspace side to see if it is rarely
or never...

And we'd have to talk to the soft XXX guys to see if they plan to use
it..

Checked in librxe (user-space softroce). Looks like posts are going via
this path...
