I think this is obviously the right thing to do, but I'm not too crazy
about the 'ret' pointer passed in. We could either add a proper return
type instead of the bool and use that, or put the poll-or-queue-async
into a helper that then only needs a bool return, and use that return
value for whether to re-issue or not.

Care to send an updated variant?
