The following workqueue related patch is a port of the original VFCIPI PI
patch I submitted earlier. There is still more work to be done to add the
"schedule_on_cpu()" type behavior, and even more if we want to use this as
part of KVM. But for now, this patch can stand alone so I thought I would
get it out there.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Mainline workqueues treat all requests the same. This patch prioritizes
requests in the queue based on the callers current rt_priority. It also
adds a priority-inheritance feature to avoid inversion.
