In the current implementation, response code 01 (AP queue number not valid)
is handled as a default case along with other response codes returned from
a queue reset operation that are not handled specifically. Barring a bug,
response code 01 will occur only when a queue has been externally removed
from the host's AP configuration; nn this case, the queue must
be reset by the machine in order to avoid leaking crypto data if/when the
queue is returned to the host's configuration.

s/if\/when/at latest before/

I would argue that some of the cleanups need to happen before even 01 is
reflected...

To what cleanups are you referring?


The code comments may also require a similar rewording. With that fixed:

The response code 01 case
will be handled specifically by logging a WARN message followed by cleaning
up the IRQ resources.
