413Prior to call ccw_device_start() the device driver must assure disabled state, 409ccw_device_start() must be called disabled and with the ccw device lock held.
414i.e. the I/O mask value in the PSW must be disabled. This can be accomplished
415by calling local_save_flags( flags). The current PSW flags are preserved and
416can be restored by local_irq_restore( flags) at a later time.

418If the device driver violates this rule while running in a uni-processor
419environment an interrupt might be presented prior to the ccw_device_start()
420routine returning to the device driver main path. In this case we will end in a
