Hmm. I guess in this particular situation, we really don't have any
arguments from callers, no. I was confused by the fact that we had
that argv_split/argv_free thing, but that doesn't actually come from
the callers, it just comes from our own buffer. So yeah, I guess
everything could just go into a workqueue.
