Merge branch 'for-3.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
 "Surprisingly, Lai and I didn't break too many things implementing
  custom pools and stuff last time around and there aren't any follow-up
  changes necessary at this point.

  The only change in this pull request is Viresh's patches to make some
  per-cpu workqueues to behave as unbound workqueues dependent on a boot
  param whose default can be configured via a config option.  This leads
  to higher processing overhead / lower bandwidth as more work items are
  bounced across CPUs; however, it can lead to noticeable powersave in
  certain configurations - ~10% w/ idlish constant workload on a
  big.LITTLE configuration according to Viresh.

  This is because per-cpu workqueues interfere with how the scheduler
  perceives whether or not each CPU is idle by forcing pinned tasks on
  them, which makes the scheduler's power-aware scheduling decisions
  less effective.

  Its effectiveness is likely less pronounced on homogenous
  configurations and this type of optimization can probably be made
  automatic; however, the changes are pretty minimal and the affected
  workqueues are clearly marked, so it's an easy gain for some
  configurations for the time being with pretty unintrusive changes."
