* This is the generic async execution mechanism. Work items as are
* executed in process context. The worker pool is shared and
* automatically managed. There is one worker pool for each CPU and
* one extra for works which are better served by workers which are
* not bound to any specific CPU.
*
* Please read Documentation/workqueue.txt for details.
