This doesn't look right: shutdown is supposed to turn off the device
without disturbing the tree or causing any knock on effects (I think
that rule is mostly because you don't want anything in userspace
triggering since it's likely to be nearly dead). Remove removes the
device from the tree and cleans up everything. I think the function
you want that's closest to what shutdown needs is de_close(). That
basically just turns off the chip and frees the interrupt ... you'll
have to wrapper it to call it from the pci_driver, though.
