I'm not sure about that.  The async operation synchronization isn't
per-driver or module.  Both during boot and module operations, they're
synchronized globally, which makes sense given its purpose and that's
also why we don't see these brekages without this debug option.  It
doesn't make sense to me to add a whole new set of behaviors just for
a debug option.

Thanks.
