  * The softirq flavor of kcov_remote_*() functions is introduced as a temporary

+ * 1. Only collects coverage when called in the softirq context. This allows
+ *    avoiding nested remote coverage collection sections in the task context.
+ *    For example, USB/IP calls usb_hcd_giveback_urb() in the task context
+ *    within an existing remote coverage collection section. Thus, KCOV should
+ *    not attempt to start collecting coverage within the coverage collection
+ *    section in __usb_hcd_giveback_urb() in this case.
+ *
+ * 2. Disables interrupts for the duration of the coverage collection section.
+ *    This allows avoiding nested remote coverage collection sections in the
+ *    softirq context (a softirq might occur during the execution of a work in
+ *    the BH workqueue, which runs with in_serving_softirq() > 0).
+ *    For example, usb_giveback_urb_bh() runs in the BH workqueue with
+ *    interrupts enabled, so __usb_hcd_giveback_urb() might be interrupted in
+ *    the middle of its remote coverage collection section, and the interrupt
+ *    handler might invoke __usb_hcd_giveback_urb() again.
