Doesn't happen right now. The problem scenario is:
- Plug in device 1, driver "D" gets modprobed by hotplug
- Plug in device 2, needs driver "D", not modprobed
- Unplug device 1 -- now what: "rmmod D"?
If device 2 happens to be in use, then "rmmod" would be a NOP
since the use count will be nonzero. But in the equally typical
case that device 2 doesn't happen to be open at that instant,
"rmmod" would remove the driver "D".
