Indeed it does, and I don't think that's needed. You might be able to shorten 
the race window on the DU side, but you won't be able to close it completely 
as detecting the race requires information that is only available to the VSP 
driver. Fixing the race on the VSP side will make this dead code, so you can 
remove the addition of the pending flag from this patch.
