Not in userspace, any required serialization should be handled in the
kernel. Unless I'm mistaken we already have a lock to handle concurrent
QBUF and DQBUF calls, so it should be fine.

That's a good question, discussed below.

So it looks like we need to handle this condition gracefully. This means
that we shouldn't cancel the queue, but continue with the next transfer,
doesn't it ?
