Goto's are cool granted :), but IMO the "do {} while()" is more natural
here.

I'm not sure I understand why this isn't a '>' check. If you want to
extend the ABI, you'll add members to async_head_user. So you just need
to check that you understand all the information that userspace passes
to you, or did I missed something?
