If it's been submitted to the hardware for DMA, it can't do that very
easily.
And if I can't be bothered to write code to go through the entire damn
queue and inspect every packet to see if it's a data packet and check
the VCI/VPI and try to steal it, it can't be done for the software queue
either :)
The queue ought to be short; if it isn't, then we already screwed up.
The close therefore should be quick, and it *doesn't* have to be
instant.
If someone wants to return immediately, there's always
vcc_release_async()...
