I don't know.  I read the workqueue doc on WQ_MEM_RECLAIM, but I don't know who
to tell if iw_cm needs this or not.  Can you give me an example of a workqueue
that _does_ need WQ_MEM_RECLAIM?  I _think_ it means your workqueue is required
to run something that would get triggered by the oom OS code, but I don't know
if that would include rdma CMs or not...
