That sounds fine to me.

What do you mean "if the ctrl state doesn't require it"?
Up until today we managed to avoid checking the ctrl state
in queue_rq and I'd like to keep it that way. I'd be much
happier if we don't depend on queue_rq to fail early under
some assumptions, it might be a slippery slope...
