There now are only a handful of users left.  I'm currently sending out
patches for them.  Once they appear on linux-next, I'll mark
flush_scheduled_work() deprecated and add it to feature-removal in the
workqueue tree and push it to linux-next.  So, yeah, it's likely to be
marked deprecated in 2.6.39.

Thanks.
