I generally don't like the custom printing macros, please just open-code
the prints where they are used, that makes it easier for other kernel
developers to see exactly what is being printed.

This is an odd indentation style, I would insert a newline after the 'enum {'

It looks like you add quite a bit of complexity by using a custom
worker thread implementation. Can you explain what this is
needed for? Isn't this roughly the same thing that one would
get more easily with create_singlethread_workqueue()?

Instead of allowing the interface to be used without CONFIG_APPLE_RTKIT,
I think it is sufficient to allow the driver itself to be built with
CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST (as you already do), and then have
drivers using it marked as 'depends on APPLE_RTKIT'
unconditionally.

Do we need to export both of these?
