Hey Tejun (and all others)

Thank you for the response. May I humbly mention that I did find the following
while testing my patch:

[    0.120298] workqueue: name exceeds WQ_NAME_LEN (32 chars). Truncating to: events_freezable_power_efficien

In an effort to be thorough, would you like me to submit a patch shortening
this? Perhaps to "events_freezable_pwr_efficient"?

To be clear, I am not pushing the change, however, I do want to make sure that
the changes being submitted are not causing additional clutter. 

Thanks!
