Mauro - the BH workqueue should provide the same kind of latency as
the tasklets, and it would be good to validate early that yes, this
workqueue conversion works well in practice. Since you have an actual
real-life test-case, could you give it a try?

In general I think it's worth pointing out that future conversions should
still aim for an equivalent in task context, and now with disable/enable_work
a lot opens up for regular wq conversions. If users/maintainers shout about
latency, then use BH wq.
