Just my 2c:

Honestly, I am not sure if the benefits of duplicating the code to use
normal workqueues outweighs the drawbacks (namely code complexity,
code duplication - which can in turn cause more bugs and maintenance
headaches down the line). The code is harder to read and adding more
30 character function names does not help.

For something as important as expedited GPs, I can't imagine a
scenario where an RT kthread worker would cause "issues". If it does
cause issues, that's what the -rc cycles and the stable releases are
for. I prefer to trust the process than take a one-foot-in-the-door
approach.

So please, can we just keep it simple?

Thanks,

- Joel
