Subject: [PATCH 0/2] re-send of flush_workqueue/flush_work patches

Changes:

[PATCH 1/2] reimplement flush_workqueue()

	Not changed, just re-diff against 2.6.20-rc2-mm1

[PATCH 2/2] implement flush_work()

	Fix a race vs cpu-hotplug. The work should be dequeued before
	we check any CPU for ->current_work == work, otherwise the work
	can migrate to already checked CPU.

Oleg.
