Agreed.

However, the real problem is that the doe_mb is probably free'ed at this point
and all this is going to crash and burn anyway.  The implementation of
PCI_DOE_FLAG_CANCEL was fundamentally flawed even for the current work queue
implementation.

This patch incorrectly tried to use that mechanism but upon looking closer I
see it does not work.

I saw in another thread Jonathan discussing some sort of get/put on the doe_mb.
That is not currently necessary as the creators of doe_mb objects currently
hold references to the PCI device any time they call submit.

:-(

For now all PCI_DOE_FLAG_CANCEL stuff needs to go away,
