A matter of opinion I suppose and I respect yours.

I included this here for the reasons I stated above.
If I was reviewing these patches and saw this in a separate
patch I would wonder why it was being done since it would
be an isolated change requiring examination of subsequent
patches to figure out why it was done.  Since you have
taken the time to bring this up again I'll go ahead and do it
since I have no major objections and it is a fairly simple change.

The AP_RESPONSE_CHECKSTOPPED response code is set
when the AP function can not be performed due to a
machine failure resulting in loss of connectivity to the
queue. I find it hard to believe that interrupts would
continue to be signaled in that case. I will check with
the architecture folks for verification.

I think AP_RESPONSE_CHECKSTOPPED indicates a problem with
the machine also.

I won't assume anything - although I seriously doubt interrupts
will continue with a broken device - so I will get input from the
architecture folks regarding interrupts after a non-zero response
code.

I agree which is why in the next version I am only resetting a queue if
it is bound at the time of the reset.
