This must be tested in some way.  I can see this potentially
breaking something.

Especially this is true because ide_complete_rq() does it's
"complete whole request right now" logic for error <= 0.

Borislov/Tejun, can either of you test this code path with this
change applied?  I'd very much appreciate it.

Thanks!
