BTW, a question about all this wakeup-saving stuff.  For a case like
this, would we be better off INIT_DELAYED_WORK_DEFERRABLE(), since we
don't really care about cleaning up stale address handles on a system
that is totally idle and blissfully sleeping?

Similarly for the mthca code that polls the HCA for a catastrophic
error (internal HCA crash), do you think we should be rounding the
5*HZ interval, or using a deferrable timer?

 - R.
