Comment(by nickm):
I still like it. One thing -- is it right for there to be more than one
"owning" controller at a time? The "ownership" metaphor implies
exclusivity, but the TAKEOWNERSHIP command doesn't seem to prevent an
arbitrary number of controllers from having "ownership" at the same time.
I think that's not an unreasonable thing to do, but we sure want to
document it, and document how TAKEOWNERSHIP interacts with
__OwningControllerProcess: Otherwise somebody will get surprised.
Also, I think we ought to have a way to relinquish ownership, though that
can be another patch.
