Yeah that's essentially the design we picked for the tdr workers,
where some drivers have requirements that all tdr work must be done on
the same thread (because of cross-engine coordination issues). But
that would require that we rework the scheduler as a pile of
self-submitting work items, and I'm not sure that actually fits all
that well into the core workqueue interfaces either.
Worst case I think this isn't a dead-end and can be refactored to
internally use the workqueue services, with the new functions here
just being dumb wrappers until everyone is converted over. So it
doesn't look like an expensive mistake, if it turns out to be a
mistake.
