+Subject: [PATCH] spi: Check to see if the device is processing a message
+ before we idle
+
+cur_msg is updated under the queue lock and holds the message we are
+currently processing. Since currently we only ever do removals in the
+pump kthread it doesn't matter in what order we do things but we want
+to be able to push things out from the submitting thread so pull the
+check to see if we're currently handling a message before we check to
+see if the queue is idle.

+Subject: [PATCH] spi: Pump transfers inside calling context for spi_sync()
+
+If we are using the standard SPI message pump (which all drivers should be
+transitioning over to) then special case the message enqueue and instead of
+starting the worker thread to push messages to the hardware do so in the
+context of the caller if the controller is idle. This avoids a context
+switch in the common case where the controller has a single user in a
+single thread, for short PIO transfers there may be no need to context
+switch away from the calling context to complete the transfer.
+
+The code is a bit more complex than is desirable in part due to the need
+to handle drivers not using the standard queue and in part due to handling
+the various combinations of bus locking and asynchronous submission in
+interrupt context.
+
+It is still suboptimal since it will still wake the message pump for each
+transfer in order to schedule idling of the hardware and if multiple
+contexts are using the controller simultaneously a caller may end up
+pumping a message for some random other thread rather than for itself,
+and if the thread ends up deferring due to another context idling the
+hardware then it will just busy wait.  It can, however, have the benefit
+of aggregating power up and down of the hardware when a caller performs
+a series of transfers back to back without any need for the use of
+spi_async().

+Subject: [PATCH] spi: Only idle the message pump in the worker kthread
+
+In order to avoid the situation where the kthread is waiting for another
+context to make the hardware idle let the message pump know if it's being
+called from the worker thread context and if it isn't then defer to the
+worker thread instead of idling the hardware immediately. This will ensure
+that if this situation happens we block rather than busy waiting.
