 Usage Notes :
 
-Prior to call ccw_device_start() the device driver must assure disabled state,
-i.e. the I/O mask value in the PSW must be disabled. This can be accomplished
-by calling local_save_flags( flags). The current PSW flags are preserved and
-can be restored by local_irq_restore( flags) at a later time.
-
-If the device driver violates this rule while running in a uni-processor
-environment an interrupt might be presented prior to the ccw_device_start()
-routine returning to the device driver main path. In this case we will end in a
-deadlock situation as the interrupt handler will try to obtain the irq
-lock the device driver still owns (see below) !
