Drivers need to be safe from the hw going away, whether it be physically or because it got shut down. > Freeing irqs obviously seems easier. No. Freeing irq's DOES NOT HELP. Listen to me. You need the hardening of the driver anyway for the hotplug case. Freeing irq's doesn't do anything for it, it's just shuffling the real problem under the carpet. So fix the damn problem _right_, and suddenly freeing the irq doesn't make any difference at all. It's just unnecessary and incorrect complexity.
