The fact that there can be multiple requests in parallel (for a given tfm) is a

Each request object has its state in its own state machine, independent from the

I assume this is clear enough.

My point is that all of the state associated with a request needs
to be stored in the request object.  If you're start storing things
in the driver/hardware, then things will get ugly one way or another.
