I have mostly reviewed this, with the exception of the
snp_begin/complete_psc parts.

I am not sure about removing all the pr_debug() - I am sure it will be
a bit more painful for userspace developers to figure out what exactly
has gone wrong in some cases. But we can add them later, if needed -
I'm certainly not going to make a fuss about it.
