Yes I updated the work queue setup and ported it to
all these changes in 2.6.36.

See the changelog in the description.

I did it intentionally not split up because a split up is unlikely

What review? The code has been ready since last merge window at least
and was revied back then is my understanding.

The various versions I posted have been extensively tested
by lots of people, including me.
