For non-QEBSM devices, get_buf_states() merges PENDING and EMPTY buffers into a single group of finished buffers. To allow the upper-layer driver to differentiate between the two states, qdio_check_pending() looks at each buffer's state again and sets the sbal_state flag to QDIO_OUTBUF_STATE_FLAG_PENDING accordingly. So effectively we're spending overhead on _every_ Output Queue inspection, just to avoid some additional TX completion calls in case a group of buffers has completed with mixed EMPTY / PENDING state. Given that PENDING buffers should rarely occur, this is a bad trade-off. In particular so as the additional checks in get_buf_states() affect _all_ device types (even those that don't use the PENDING state). Rip it all out, and just report the PENDING completions separately as we already do for QEBSM devices.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
