Hi Robin,

Thanks for turning this around so quickly.

I've been through and had a look, leaving some small comments on the patches
themselves. The only part I failed to figure out is how you tie the lifetime
of the flush queue to the lifetime of the domain so that the timer callback
can't fire after e.g. the DMA cookie has been freed. How does that work?
