Subject: [PATCH 8/8] rsxx: Fixes CPU usage issues on RHEL 6 Kernels.
From: Philip J Kelleher <pjk1939@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>
The RHEL 6.x version of the driver is using the legacy
worqueue create function, 'create_singlethread_workqueue'.
This would cause heavy usage of one CPU if data was being
thrashed pretty hard. So, in order to fix it, workqueues
are now being created with 'create_workqueue' and
synchronization with mutexes.
