This warrants a comment, then.

We should use a mutex, then. There's no saying how long this will take
and busy-looping indefinitely is a bad idea. Though it seems to me like
we don't need to lock around the polling loop here since we're merely
reading a status register. We would only need to lock around accesses to
the control register to make sure two processes can't step on each
others's toes.

I can help with testing. Though that raises the question of how this can
be tested. It seems like this feature is used to make sure that all
outstanding memory requests from clients are flushed before resetting a
module. Typically Linux assumes that devices do that anyway, so if a
device is suspended or shut down, the corresponding function should
ensure that all outstanding transfers have been cancelled and are
flushed.
Also we've managed just fine so far, so I'm beginning to wonder whether
we actually need this feature on Linux. If not, how do we test that this
is indeed doing what it should? How to trigger a condition that requires
flushing and how do we determine that flushing actually fixes things?
