Am I the only one getting a conflict with the work_pending() function in
include/linux/workqueue.h?

Both sounds and look sane further below.

Please add a comment after the define.

Hmmm...

@ line 268
syscall_exit_work:
bld r1, TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE
brcc 1f

Which refers to the 1: label you remove here.

Make a 1: label at this line should do the trick AFAICT.

I get a conflict with a similar function declared in

it is wider than 80 characters.
