Oh fun, now we will have drivers and subsystems fighting over their priority, with each one insisting that they are the most important! /s Anyway, this is ripe for problems and issues in the long-run, what is so special about this hardware that it can not just shutdown in the existing order that it has to be "first" over everyone else? What exactly does this prevent and what devices are requiring this? And most importantly, what has changed in the past 20+ years to suddenly require this new functionality and how does any other operating system handle it? thanks, greg k-h
