+================
+HELPER FUNCTIONS
+================
+
+The slow-work facility provides a function by which it can be determined
+whether or not an item is queued for later execution:
+
+ bool queued = slow_work_is_queued(struct slow_work *work);
+
+If it returns false, then the item is not on the queue (it may be executing
+with a requeue pending). This can be used to work out whether an item on which
+another depends is on the queue, thus allowing a dependent item to be queued
+after it.
