these slow-work changes have introduced a new !CONFIG_MODULES build bug 
on x86 (and all other architectures i suspect):

kernel/slow-work.c: In function ‘slow_work_execute’:
kernel/slow-work.c:313: error: ‘slow_work_thread_processing’ undeclared (first use in this function)
kernel/slow-work.c:313: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
kernel/slow-work.c:313: error: for each function it appears in.)
kernel/slow-work.c: In function ‘slow_work_wait_for_items’:
kernel/slow-work.c:950: error: ‘slow_work_unreg_sync_lock’ undeclared (first use in this function)
kernel/slow-work.c:951: error: ‘slow_work_unreg_wq’ undeclared (first use in this function)
kernel/slow-work.c:961: error: ‘slow_work_unreg_work_item’ undeclared (first use in this function)
kernel/slow-work.c:974: error: ‘slow_work_unreg_module’ undeclared (first use in this function)
kernel/slow-work.c:977: error: ‘slow_work_thread_processing’ undeclared (first use in this function)

Commit 3bde31a ("SLOW_WORK: Allow a requeueable work item to sleep till 
the thread is needed") broke the !CONFIG_MODULES build by relying on 
variables that are only available (and only make sense) with module 
support enabled. Fix it.

Note, to fix it in a minimal way for .32 i've simply extended the 
existing #ifdef's. In v2.6.33 a cleaner change would be to move the 
whole wait-for-modules block into a separate slow-work-wait-modules.c 
file or so - that will allow the removal of 6 #ifdefs.

Thanks,

	Ingo
