oh wait, it's not a minor problem. If CPU is busy, this workqueue might
take longer than 30ms to get scheduled. This is another problem I just
reproduced, even after changing that pr_info() in print_message() to a
pr_debug().

Everything worked fine when I called rx_msg_worker() directly, instead
of queueing it to the workqueue.
