Oopsing is undesirable, true, but is one of the consequences of
not implementing disconnect() right.  And it has the advantage
of not facilitating the subtle falure modes coming from components
having different notions of device (or interface) state.


The the host controller driver should be fixed.  This is because some
drivers don't even know about all of the urbs they have submitted (visor
driver being one of them), so they can't know to cancel them :)

But there would still be "visor" issues then for any of the cases where an active driver needs to be pulled off a device that's still present.

My preferred fix for that class of problems (and a few others) isn't
in the HCDs, or even in the device drivers...  I actually have it
written, and have started to test it.  Basically, the paths the need
to know the driver has quiesced should be able to accelerate that
directly, no help from device driver or HCD.
