+ * @owner: module owning the callback code
+ *
+ * sysfs attribute methods must not unregister themselves or their parent
+ * kobject (which would amount to the same thing).  Attempts to do so will
+ * deadlock, since unregistration is mutually exclusive with driver
+ * callbacks.
+ *
+ * Instead methods can call this routine, which will attempt to allocate
+ * and schedule a workqueue request to call back @func with @data as its
+ * argument in the workqueue's process context.  @kobj will be pinned
+ * until @func returns.
+ *
+ * Returns 0 if the request was submitted, -ENOMEM if storage could not
+ * be allocated, -ENODEV if a reference to @owner isn't available,
+ * -EAGAIN if a callback has already been scheduled for @kobj.
