Looks good. One thing that might be interesting to add for consistency
is to add the early-out like in retire() if the PLAB has already been
retired.
It does not seem to hurt to leave it out, but for consistency it might
be desirable.

Also the change needs to be rebased to the current repository.

Thanks,
