I mean that instead of:

+/// Returns the system unbound work queue (`system_dfl_wq`).
 ///
 /// Workers are not bound to any specific CPU, not concurrency managed, and all queued work items
 /// are executed immediately as long as `max_active` limit is not reached and resources are
 /// available.
 pub fn system_unbound() -> &'static Queue {
-    // SAFETY: `system_unbound_wq` is a C global, always available.
-    unsafe { Queue::from_raw(bindings::system_unbound_wq) }
+    // SAFETY: `system_dfl_wq` is a C global, always available.
+    unsafe { Queue::from_raw(bindings::system_dfl_wq) }
 }

you add a new function:

	pub fn system_dfl() -> &'static Queue {
	    // SAFETY: `system_dfl_wq` is a C global, always available.
	    unsafe { Queue::from_raw(bindings::system_dfl_wq) }
	}

and do *not* modify system_unbound().
