+ * We can get incoming messages from the host that are not in response to

+ * deal with potential race conditions where the driver may be in the
+ * midst of being unloaded when we might receive an unsolicited message
+ * from the host, we have implemented a mechanism to gurantee sequential
+ * consistency:
+ *
+ * 1) Once the device is marked as being destroyed, we will fail all
+ * outgoing messages.
+ * 2) We permit incoming messages when the device is being destroyed,
+ * only to properly account for messages already sent out.
