No, the point was to not change the real_num values until we knew that 
everything else was sorted out and swapped.  However, it looks like that 
could be put right after the queues are stopped and before the swap, so 
that if the real_num change fails we can reactivate everything as it was 
and dump all the new allocations.

I'll work that up and see what it looks like.
