It appeared to me that async is deemed to parallelize as much as
possible, to probe devices faster on boot for example, while cmwq
seems to do the opposite: trying to execute in batches as much as
possible, and fork when a work goes to sleep voluntarily.

That said I haven't checked that deeply so it's fairly possible
I missed something obvious :)
