Kevin Hilman and me plan to try to bring a new Kconfig option that could let
us control the unbound workqueues affinity through sysfs.

The feature actually exist currently but is only enabled for workqueues that
have WQ_SYSFS. Writeback and raid5 are the only current users.

See for example: /sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/writeback/cpumask
