Ok, the timer stuff could run from a workqueue just fine.

We have no-timer invocations, too, like addrconf_prefix_rcv. In that case the
whole handling of the router advertisment should get deferred into the
workqueue.

Just to be clear, you are saying that this doesn't need to be
synchronous?  Handling a prefix event seems like something that would
in fact need to be.
