All these kind of things should be taken care of in fabrica when it is
developed.  I think it should be possible to register a notification
with an opened device that should notify the opener when the
underlying medium (whatever it is) is not available anymore.

You could have a look at the design document for fabrica/l4-hurd and
comment on that if you see big mistakes or if important things are
missing.
