No, that's not right either, but Arjan just helped me a bit with how
lockdep works and I think I have the right idea now. Ignore this for

ok. But in general, this is a very nice idea!

i've Cc:-ed Oleg. Oleg, what do you think? I think we should keep all
the workqueue APIs specified in a form that makes them lockdep coverable
like Johannes did. This debug mechanism could have helped with the
recent DVB lockup that Thomas Sattler reported.
