There were still some discussions about the kthread worker API.
Anyway, the needed kthread API changes are in Andrew's -mm tree now
and will be hopefully included in 4.9.
I did not want to send the patches using the API before the API
changes are upstream. But I could send the two intel_powerclamp
patches now if you are comfortable with having them on top of
the -mm tree or linux-next.
Best Regards,
Petr
