Kernel thread naming

Hello,

Today I noticed there are kernel threads named "wg-crypt-wgX" (the latter part being name of the interface). However when there is actual load on WG, these don't seem to be active, and in "top" we still see a bunch of "kworker/0:X" using the CPU.

Would it be possible to give those kworkers recognizable names instead? I remember Btrfs had a change like this in the past, first they had all kworkers, and now a whole assortment of threads like "btrfs-cleaner", "btrfs-transacti" or "btrfs-endio-met" (there's some strict length limit).
