Actually, I think 3/3 is wrong. You need to start the queue as soon as
we see it's blocked and the device has gone into DEL. This is safe
because DEL ensures nothing ever gets from the generic request function
to queuecommand, so the device driver never sees anything.
This means the combined 1/3 3/3 patch looks like this:
