Do you mean by expressiveness the ability to hack around a suboptimally
working driver in userland (by requiring the administrator to play with
kernel thread priorities of dedicated worker threads)?  Is it known
whether this driver/ these drivers still require this hack after Tejun's
patch set is applied?  If yes, how about finding someone to fix this
driver for good.  Meanwhile, let's gets rid of the problem of having
both too few and too many workers in countless present usages of the
workqueue API please.
