So, in terms of concrete suggestions:

1) if schedule_work is called and no kevent thread is available, create a new one
2) ponder perhaps an implementation that would use generic keventd until a certain load is reached; then, create per-cpu kernel threads just like private workqueue creation occurs now. i.e. switch from shared (keventd) to private at runtime.


3) offer private workqueue interface like we have now -- but one thread only, not NN threads
