Thanks for the review Patrick. As I wrote before, I'm not against
using a workqueue here: it's logically better, but I still think
this place is rather exception, so I'm not convinced we should
care so much adding better solution, but also some overhead when
cancelling this workqueue. But if it really bothers you, please
confirm, and I'll do it. BTW, I wonder if adding the old "too many
events" warning back wouldn't be more useful here.

David, I'm not sure you can still track these patches, so I'll
soon resend them (2 patches: #7/6 and 8/6).

Thanks,
Jarek P.
