I don't think much action is needed: whenever someone integrates the 
workqueue tree with these reboot changes, or the workqueue changes hit 
upstream, a s/PF_THREAD_BOUND/PF_NO_SETAFFINITY should do the trick, 
right?

Btw., if that's true then the workqueue tree should probably grow this 
helper:

	#define PF_THREAD_BOUND PF_NO_SETAFFINITY

migration/backport helper, which can be removed in v3.11 or so.

Thanks,

	Ingo
