I'd just go with WQ_FREEZABLE. As a general rule of thumb, please
only use attributes which are strictly necessary. If the default
behavior turns out to be not so good for typical wq usages (and AFAICS
khubd seems fairly typical), we should be changing the default
behavior. Each usage deviating complicates the long-term prospect.

Thanks.
