Oh wait. I have to hold this back, I have a fundamental question:

[PATCHv7 4/6] ipvs: use kthreads for stats estimation

uses kthreads, these days the preferred interface for this is the
generic workqueue infrastructure.

Then, I can see patch:

 [PATCHv7 5/6] ipvs: add est_cpulist and est_nice sysctl vars

allows for CPU pinning which is also possible via sysfs.

Is there any particular reason for not using the generic workqueue
infrastructure? I could not find a reason in the commit logs.

Thanks.
