Are there multiple graphics devices? There's just recently been a bugfix 
where graphics devices accidentally shared the same list of deferred 
pages. See

I read that cancel_() is not enough and needs to be followed by a 
flush_() to ensure quiescence. So maybe we should call that flush_ 
unconditionally.

That's not easily revertable.
