Let's get the fix down first.  I *think* we can do it for 3.6-fixes.
Can't we do the following?

* Instead of MANAGING, add pool->manager.

* Fix the idle depletion bug by using pool->manager for exclusion and
  always grabbing pool->manager_mutex.  Hotplug can use pool->manager
  to schedule rebind work (or UNBIND) to the manager.

Thoughts?

Also, can you please base the fix patches on top of wq/for-3.6-fixes?
It's getting quite confusing.

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git for-3.6-fixes

Thanks.
