 > Couldn't the delay slow down transfers by causing a delay in TCP ACKs
 coming from the host kernel?  We'd be hitting the debugging in the driver
 before incoming packets are passed to the TCP stack.
 I believe this debug code would run only in driver command path and
 therefore, should not affect performance.

 mask) causing small delay in command execution that might be preventing
 any race happening with driver/fw interaction.
