You can probably use workqueues for this.  Looking at the manual page
again for the first time in years, I think it's a little misleading --
what I believe is meant by "A work must not be enqueued again until the
callback is called..." is really "a work item must not be re-enqueued
before it has been processed by the *func callback", not the alternate,
crazy reading that would imply workqueues can only have one enqueued
item at a time.
