Hi Johannes,

Yes, indeed, and I think that's actually a good thing. It means that
the starts aren't ever called in parallel, which could be useful if
drivers have any ordering requirements. The change doesn't negatively
effect any existing drivers. I'll resubmit with a larger commit
message explaining this.
