Yah, looks correct to me.

James, I think the cleaner thing to do would be for
__ghes_peek_estatus() not to call __ghes_check_estatus() at the end but
to return success and we can keep the two functions - "peek" and "check"
status - separate and always do:

	if (peek)
		return ...;

	if (check)
		return ...;

because this way the checking remains separate in __ghes_check_estatus()
and so is the peeking in __ghes_peek_estatus().

We can merge the two functions because we always do peek and then check
but keeping them separate makes the code clearer.

Am I making some sense...?

Thx.
