What I meant to say is that it'll give problems with drivers that don't
do status reporting properly, and what are you going to do when one of
them fails anyway? retry it? how long? assume the connection was lost if
it isn't acked? I see little point in it to start with.

Not really; introduce bits somewhere to keep track of who wants to
enable/disable queues I guess.

Oh, hmm, ok, that might make the enum problematic. Or do something like

SCAN_OFF,
SCAN_BG,
SCAN_SW,
SCAN_HW

then you can check for scan >= SCAN_SW
