Not that trivial, because doing such processing in the IRQ handler is
a bad idea (would increase IRQ latencies alot).  Doing that in a
kernel thread or something simliar (tasklets?) would be possible and
might help to reduce latencies because SYNC may return instantly
without any processing required.
