I see your point.

My practice is to use the perf convention for things that don't come
from the kernel, and if we do as I suggested, tooling will probably not
even see this threadpool struct, i.e. just the workqueue APIs are
exposed and workqueue_create() will notice that a threadpool is not yet
created, doing its creation behind tooling's back.
