i have used NT_SUCCESS(status) 99% of the time. for the cases wherei know
the bus returns other status codes which are NT_SUCCESS that i want to
process differently, i would special case out the specific values first. I
have never used NT_WARNING or NT_ERROR or NT_INFORMATION in any driver i
have written to day.
