Yeah but workqueues already tend to have pretty short and fundamental
names, and it can get confusing to have mix of files and directories
all with short names without much recognizable pattern.  I don't know.
Maybe I'm worrying too much but I'd really hate to be in a situation
where an attribute has to be renamed because it conflicts with a
workqueue name.
