Yours is the theoretical, hopefully-forward-looking one where we still
expect the driver to actually be modified to take advantage of the new

that scenario, yes, it should use more until it uses all, and then it
can stop concerning itself with wext (which would be a win because
driver/wext interaction is always finicky) (*)

I just realized that in order to actually do this you'd have to revert
04b0c5c6995103eef56391c163e970ab1f03b59f first, but that would be pretty
simple.
