Hi,

I booted 2.6.23-rc8 and noticed that ehea loves its workqueues:

# ps aux|grep ehea

root      3283  0.0  0.0    0    0 ?    S<   11:02   0:00 [ehea_wq/7]

(notice also that the ehea_driver_wq/XXX exceeds TASK_COMM_LEN). 

Since they are both infrequent events and not performance critical
(memory hotplug and driver reset), can we just use schedule_work?

Yes. I'll provide a patch soon.
