    I would like to see explicit comments about being called from interrupt
    for hooks like sock_rcv_skb and send_sigiotask, but I don't know if
    it is really necessary to mention it individually for the skb and
    NetFilter hooks - we can just cover those hooks with a single comment.
    Also, we should warn about blocking operations in general, not just memory
    allocation.
