Do we have consensus on the approach?  I personally really don't like
the fact that it's adding another aspect to kthread management which
is difficult to get right and nearly impossible to verify
automatically.

IIUC, there are three similar solutions.  What are the pros and cons
of each?  Can we combine the different approaches?

Thanks.
