I don't like the fact that it's very hard to even write down exactly
what we're guaranteeing.  So it's not clear to me that other low-level
drivers statisfy the constraint (since I'm not sure what the
constraint is).

Also it just helps with one particular case of a class of bugs --
there are many other ways that polling a CQ could fail to synchronize
with destroying a QP.  I'd rather try to avoid the whole class of bugs.
