>Description:
I'm not using CARP, but I have a bunch of kernel threads waiting to handle CARP input -- one per CPU core.  This is an annoying waste of system resources.
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot the system.
>Fix:
threadpool-based workqueue?  (That might not be the best solution for all cases of workqueue, tho.). At the very least, defer creation of the wqinput stuff for CARP until someone actually shows intent to use it.
