The function is meant to be called with the device already enabled; that is,

While the request is processed synchronously, the device interrupt
handler is called for final ending status. In case of error situations the
interrupt handler may recover appropriately. The device irq handler can
recognize the corresponding interrupts by the interruption parameter be

Usage Notes :
Prior to call ccw_device_start() the device driver must assure disabled state,
i.e. the I/O mask value in the PSW must be disabled. This can be accomplished
by calling local_save_flags( flags). The current PSW flags are preserved and
can be restored by local_irq_restore( flags) at a later time.
If the device driver violates this rule while running in a uni-processor
environment an interrupt might be presented prior to the ccw_device_start()
routine returning to the device driver main path. In this case we will end in a
deadlock situation as the interrupt handler will try to obtain the irq
lock the device driver still owns (see below) !
The driver must assure to hold the device specific lock. This can be
accomplished by
(i) spin_lock(get_ccwdev_lock(cdev)), or
(ii) spin_lock_irqsave(get_ccwdev_lock(cdev), flags)
Option (i) should be used if the calling routine is running disabled for
I/O interrupts (see above) already. Option (ii) obtains the device gate und
puts the CPU into I/O disabled state by preserving the current PSW flags.
ccw_device_start() must be called disabled and with the ccw device lock held.
The device driver is allowed to issue the next ccw_device_start() call from
within its interrupt handler already. It is not required to schedule a
