Well, that commit were already tested and now it is present in Tony's queue
but not in upstream yet. It is not problem to squash together but the first
was about ignored VF messages and this one is about race and I didn't want
to make single patch with huge description that cover both issues.
But as I said, no problem to squash if needed.
