/**
 * A utility class to handle role requests and replies for this channel.
 * After a role request is submitted the role changer keeps track of the
 * pending request, collects the reply (if any) and times out the request
 * if necessary.
 *
 * To simplify role handling we only keep track of the /last/ pending
 * role reply send to the switch. If multiple requests are pending and
 * we receive replies for earlier requests we ignore them. However, this
 * way of handling pending requests implies that we could wait forever if
 * a new request is submitted before the timeout triggers. If necessary
 * we could work around that though.
