Aboo,
the workqueue API changes after 2.6.19 are for example explained here:
http://lwn.net/Articles/213149/
There are a lot of workqueue API conversion patches in 2.6.20-rc1 which
can be taken as example. The first step when converting to the new API
is to determine whether the work has to be delayed sometimes or can
always be queued as immediate work. In the latter case, a slimmed-down
variant of delayed work is used.
The conversion away from kmem_cache_t is trivial. There are also some
patches in 2.6.20-rc1 or later to use as example.
