There is a corner case this may break. For example, a controller posts
2 completions. The host happens to only see one of those completions due
to the inherent race when reading the phase bit. After the host updates
the CQ DB, the controller ought to send another interrupt even if it
didn't post any new CQEs to prevent command completion timeouts. This
might get the right behavior:
