Most drivers don't need the low irq to bottom half latency. As I said,
not a problem at all, just my observation. In 2.6.27, we have around
three times more new workqueue usages than new tasklet usages. My
feeling from doing reviews was that it would be closer to a factor
of ten, but I guess I was wrong in that.
