Kernel thread naming convention

Hi,

i want to improve the naming of some kernel threads from a staging driver.

Here are the current (not really self explaining) names:

"VCHIQ-%d" (slot handler)
"VCHIQr-%d" (recycle thread)
"VCHIQs-%d" (sync thread)
"VCHIQka-%d" (keep alive thread)

Is there any document which describe naming convention for kernel threads?

Regards
Stefan
