This is for users of an optional feature of the infrastructure. We
probably should just call it anyway since it does have checks for the
feature being used (but given all the open coding around this stuff I'd
need to verify that the class callbacks would reliably get called).

In any case that's not happening now and the driver as it stands is
buggy since it's trampling all over the hardware without syncing with
anything that isn't ongoing.
