The problem is that it wants the *close* of the user-space programs
unnecessarily. Basically the shutdown can be seen as a sort of device
hot unplug; i.e. the disconnection of the device files and the cleanup
of device state are the main task. The difference is that the hot
unplug (unbind) usually follows the sync for the all processes being
closed (so that you can release all resources gracefully), while this
step is skipped for the shutdown (no need for resource-free).
