This header needs to be rewritten to deal directly with the fact:
1) Commit 48b0777cd93d (Revert "dm crypt: export sysfs of kcryptd
   workqueue") dealt with what you call "temporarily revert".
2) Great that you fixed it using IDA but you still haven't clearly
   explained the benefit of exposing this sysfs interface (please add
   details on which userspace is consuming it). I suppose you could
   explain by referring to commit a2b8b2d975673 (that was reverted)?

Thanks,
Mike
