+If TCMU_MAILBOX_FLAG_CAP_OOOC is set for mailbox->flags, kernel is
+capable of handling out-of-order completions. In this case, userspace can
+handle command in different order other than original. Since kernel would

 When the opcode is PAD, userspace only updates cmd_tail as above --
 it's a no-op. (The kernel inserts PAD entries to ensure each CMD entry
 is contiguous within the command ring.)
