So we sync it back to the device so that we can then do another sync to
CPU?  TBH I'm a bit surprised that there's a requirement that we
explicitly undo a sync and that a redundant double sync in the same
direction might be an issue but I've not had a need to care so I'm
perfectly prepared to believe there is.

At the very least this needs a comment.
