I was thinking that this might have something to do with BH stuff that
I've left out from reading. (rather complicated :P)
Forgive me for trying to take an easy way, but moving things to
workqueue, do you mean putting it in bottom half? (Im sorta guessing
bottom half is like something you do after finishing high priority

(I guess you had this coming) How do you move it to the workqueue?
