Why can't we just drop back to the qos_class default? or auto remove
the time out request from the list?

Don't you need 2 values?  one for the request and one for the time out
request target?

I tend to not like time out api's.  They are race conditions waiting to
happen.

The caller could have its own timer that can simply go off and update the
requested qos.

I understand that you need to bump performance up for a short time to get good
interactivity but I don't know if it should be generalized or if this is
a good enough of a generalization.
