2019-09-13padata: allocate workqueue internallyDaniel Jordan1-6/+6

2017-07-14padata.txt: standardize document formatMauro Carvalho Chehab1-12/+15

Change its representation to follow the adopted standard, using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx: - mark document title; - mark literal blocks.
