Sean, older kernels didn't allow work queue names > 10 chars.
Since local sa is OFED only anyway, could you make life easier
for backports us by renaming the workqueue from local_sa_wq to local_sa?

I would like to note that including _wq in workqueue name just wastes
memory since workqueues can't be confused with regular processes
in ps output, anyway.

Do I'd like to propose we shorten wq names a bit:

ib_addr_wq -> ib_addr
rdma_cm_wq -> rdma_cm
iw_cm_wq -> iw_cm
ib_mcast_wq -> ib_mcast

OK?
