As the request is only valid during the same global reset epoch, we can record the current reset_counter when constructing the request and reuse it when waiting upon that request in future. This removes a very hairy atomic check serialised by the struct_mutex at the time of waiting and allows us to transfer those waits to a central dispatcher for all waiters and all requests. PS: With per-engine resets, we obviously cannot assume a global reset epoch for the requests - a per-engine epoch makes the most sense. The challenge then is how to handle checking in the waiter for when to break the wait, as the fine-grained reset may also want to requeue the request (i.e. the assumption that just because the epoch changes the request is completed may be broken - or we just avoid breaking that assumption with the fine-grained resets).
