mailbox.cmd_tail by entry.hdr.length (mod cmdr_size) and signals the
kernel via the UIO method, a 4-byte write to the file descriptor.
+If TCMU_MAILBOX_FLAG_CAP_OOOC is set for mailbox->flags, kernel is
+capable of handling out-of-order completions. In this case, userspace can

When the opcode is PAD, userspace only updates cmd_tail as above --
it's a no-op. (The kernel inserts PAD entries to ensure each CMD entry
is contiguous within the command ring.)
