Actually just a ">=" would probably do as well.

This doesn't change the result. It was still -1 if the queue mapping
is not set. It was just initialized to 0 instead of to -1 so we have
to perform the operation to get there.
Also in regards to the comment above about needing an extra operation
I am not sure it makes much difference.
In the case of us starting with 0 as a reserved value I think the
instruction count should be about the same. We move the unsigned short
into an unsigned in, then decrement, and if the value is non-negative
we can assume it is valid. Although maybe I should double check the
code to make certain it is doing what I thought it was supposed to be
doing.
