I think we will use this workqueue even when SCSI is optional, so
ata_scsi_wq may not be the best name, long term. I ACK'd its
inclusion of course, so not a big deal.
As it seems there will be another round of hotplug patches, I can rename
it without too much trouble. My candidates are...
ata_aux_wq
ata_management_wq / ata_mgmt_wq
ata_errands_wq
Another thing to consider is using the kthread API, ignore workqueues,
and simply creating "one-shot" threads as needed.
