Here is my thought:
1.The ack message don't have any side effect except kernel send back
the local address through NS channel directly.
2.But without this message, remote side can't send the message first
due to the lack of kernel address information.
The second limitation is very strange for all developer I think.

The ack message can't be sent before device probe success, otherwise
the early ack make  the remote side consider kernel driver is ready
and send the message immediately, but nobody can receive the message
actually.
