Hello, Petr.

My intention is to make it easier to manipulate and maintain kthreads.
Especially, I want to replace all the custom main cycles with a
generic one. Also I want to make the kthreads sleep in a consistent
state in a common place when there is no work.

My first attempt was with a brand new API (iterant kthread), see
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.api/11892 . But I was
directed to improve the existing kthread worker API. This is
the 4th iteration of the new direction.

1nd..10th patches: improve the existing kthread worker API
I glanced over them and they generally look good to me.  Let's see how
people respond to actual conversions.

Thanks.
