I'm sorry but I'm really not happy with this conversion;
it looses the very nice property of being able to execute and
synchronize between places at the end just before device registration.

I don't mind the implementation sharing thread pool with your stuff,
but I really really want to keep the cookie and synchronization
mechanism. There's a bunch of users of that pending and doing things
sequential entirely just is not going to cut it.
