This is buggy - if the DMA has finished processing it, even if it
finished in error, it must _complete_ the transaction.  Completion is
not the same as being successful - it means that the DMA is no longer
processing the cookie.

The issue here is that when the _following_ transaction completes
successfully, _this_ transaction will effectively be marked as complete
due to the way the cookie system works.

So... to get this straight - "completion" means "I have finished
processing this transaction".  It does not mean "I successfully
processed this transaction without any errors."
