right, that's how this should behave.

oh, I see what you mean. At the moment we want kick_transfer to behave
in two different manners and that's probably where the bug is
originating from.

It sounds like it's time to split kick_transfer into
kick_queued_transfer() and e.g. continue_pending_transfers()

The thing is that if we continue to sprinkle special cases all over the
place, soon enough it'll be super hard to maintain the driver.
