Not sure if this kind of level of detail is useful, but if you can
think of a better explanation to put in the changelist, I can add it.
I see the generation bit not flipping as a symptom, while the core
problem is the hardware can't write to the descriptor. I felt the
explanation was going into too much detail anyway, so I've reworded it
a bit for v2. Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Stefan.
