Basically we'd have to redo most of our generic device (or kobject) handling through workqueues. What I'd like for this is a way to tell context. We know the locking context and can cope with that, but it would be nice to tell if we have user context or not and then only go through the workqueue for the softirq or hardirq contexts. If we can get the check, it would probably make sense to do the actual manipulation in put_device().
