Sorry about the slow response -- I've been offline the last two days on a 
trip.

I think it would be desirable not to unlock here, instead holding the lock 
through the 'failed' case below in order to avoid re-acquiring it and 
allowing other threads to gain access to the npcb.

I.e., not re-acquire here.

And move the unlock macro here outside of the block so it's always 
called.

Otherwise, this looks good to me!  (And I guess neither Harti or Bruce got 
a chance to test these code paths?)
