Why don't these drivers simply use <linux/workqueue.h>?

Most do.  In fact, that one *does* ... what's your point?

Workqueue jobs are rarely seen doing
#ifdef CONFIG_LOCKDEP
	local_irq_enable();
#endif

If I hadn't know that more generic threaded IRQ support
was already on the way, I might have done more with that
particular driver than just massive cleanup.

OK, makes sense.
