That's one more check comparing to the old code, meaning a bit more
expensive than before.

I think we could maintain the same effort by:

- introduce per-device "started" flag: set/unset on dev_start/stop,
  respectively.

- introduce per-device "dev_attached" flag: set/unset on
  new/destory_device(), respectively.

On update of each flag, setting "allow_queuing" properly.

Okay to you?
