So, the intention is to just let people use system_wq. We no longer have single system-wide workqueue and we don't wanna add different variants matching each system wq. schedule_work() and friends were already there so I'm leaving those alone but I don't really want to add another set of rather meaningless wrappers. Please just use system_wq with mode_delayed_work*().
Even i thought the same initially but got these wrappers so that any updates to workqueue used in schedule_work later on would simply work here as the commiter would fix these too but fixing user drivers can be tricky.
To keep things aligned probably i should replace schedule_work() with queue_work() and use system_wq there too..
