Well if we could get wq_select_unbound_cpu doing the right thing based 
on node topology that would be most of my work solved right there. 
Basically I could just pass WQ_CPU_UNBOUND with the correct node and it 
would take care of getting to the right CPU.

So are you saying I should just return an error for now if somebody 
tries to use something other than an unbound workqueue with 
queue_work_near, and expect everyone else to just use queue_work_on for 
the other workqueue types?

Thanks.
