[PATCH 06/19] acpi: use queue_work_on() instead of binding workqueue worker to cpu0

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Thu Oct 01 2009 - 04:16:11 EST


ACPI works need to be executed on cpu0 and acpi/osl.c achieves this by
creating singlethread workqueue and then binding it to cpu0 from a
work which is quite unorthodox. Make it create regular workqueues and
use queue_work_on() instead. This is in preparation of concurrency
managed workqueue and the extra workers won't be a problem after it's
implemented.
