Once all drivers have been unbound the DMA API can be reconfigured and all existing DMA mappings must be concluded before this happens, otherwise there will be problems. So, stalling something like unregister_netdevice() would be a better target - though stalling forever on driver unbind would not be acceptable. Jason
