Such a utility sounds nice, but the driver should be bullet proof anyway,
otherwise the system will not come up, so that you could use the utility
(hen and egg problem). I think the mid level code should check for
the Dque bit, but the low level driver should be bullet proof to,
like the solution Doug talked about.

Sincerly,
