Shouldn't it be easier to add a helper to job struct and not having that
if here?  I.e. become:

static void process_completed_job(IaaJob *job, send_iaa_data send_page)
{
    job->completed(job, send_page);
    put_job(job);
}

And do proper initializations.  You can even put the send_page callback
in the job struct.

Again, this function for decompression becomes a single line:

    status = block ? qpl_wait_job(qpl) : qpl_check_job(qpl);
    if (status == QPL_STS_OK) {
        job->out_len = qpl->total_out;
    }

Wait complicate it?

Not even printing an error message?

The two callers of check_polling_jobs() can return an error, so no
reason to abort() here.

Later, Juan.
