Delayed operations cannot return error codes.  So we must check for

Hmm.. this bit looks funny to me. Shouldn't this already be set by
userspace? What's the reason for setting it here?

Brian
There was a reason I did this, and now i'm trying to remember what it was. I'm pretty sure it's reminiscent of an earlier series that handled a replace with explicit remove and set to avoid in flight error codes with delayed operations. I think I can take it out at this point though, the set has gone through a lot of changes since.
