This patch series fixes some shortcomings with the current VNIC device command implementation. The first patch fixes the initialization of driver completion structures used for device commands. Additionally, all waits for device commands are bounded with a timeout in the event that the device does not respond or becomes inoperable. Finally, serialize queries to retain the integrity of device return codes.
