Just flush the work once, that should be enough to park the system under
correct conditions. Outside of those we either have a driver bug or the
user is racing themselves. Sadly, because the user may be provoking the
unwanted situation we can't put a warn here to attract attention to a
probable bug.

What were supposed to be semantics of DROP_IDLE? Now it seems rather
weak. Should it for instance also imply DROP_ACTIVE?
