We do have that

   scripts/gdb/linux/constants.py.in

thing. Which seems to be the logical place do deal with this all.

That's where other - and arguably much more fundamental - kernel
#define's are dealt with.

Now, looking at the particular constants that are listed, I get the
feeling that the people who have done that script may be mostly
interested in filesystems, but I don't see why it wouldn't be
appropriate for the workstruct stuff too...
