Subject: [PATCH 1/4] compat: backport system work queues system_wq and system_long_wq
From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@...jolero.org>
mcgrof@tux ~/linux-stable (git::master)$ git describe --contains d320c038
v2.6.36-rc1~506^2~26
The commit d320c038 added some new system workqueues to allow us
to categorize order of priority on workqueue items. We had already
backported usage of system_nrt_wq but hadn't backported usage of
system_wq or system_long_wq. We address this now in this patch
by also ensuring that flush_workqueue() will flush these as
designed, that is only prioritizing system_wq. Given that older
kernels would be using the older keventd_wq for now we flush
that and then system_wq, allowing users of the system_long_wq
to be delayed as intended for backported kernel code using this
framework.
For newer kernels this is a no-op.

workqueue: s/__create_workqueue()/alloc_workqueue()/, and add system workqueues
This patch makes changes to make new workqueue features available to
its users.
* Now that workqueue is more featureful, there should be a public
workqueue creation function which takes paramters to control them.
Rename __create_workqueue() to alloc_workqueue() and make 0
max_active mean WQ_DFL_ACTIVE. In the long run, all
create_workqueue_*() will be converted over to alloc_workqueue().
* To further unify access interface, rename keventd_wq to system_wq
and export it.
* Add system_long_wq and system_nrt_wq. The former is to host long
running works separately (so that flush_scheduled_work() dosen't
take so long) and the latter guarantees any queued work item is
never executed in parallel by multiple CPUs. These will be used by
future patches to update workqueue users.
