I guess this dependency is a hard requirement due to commit 134874e2eee9
("workqueue: Allow cancel_work_sync() and disable_work() from atomic contexts
on BH work items")?

I'm asking since this patch comes with multiple compile errors. Probably due
to lack of cross compiler tool chain on your side.

If the above wouldn't be a hard dependency I'd say we could take those parts
of your patch which are fine into the s390 tree for 6.10, fix the rest, and
schedule that as well for 6.10 via the s390 tree.
