I'm not quite convinced that we clean up correctly in all cases -- pci_disable_msix(), pci_disable_msi(), pci_free_irq_vectors(), pcim_release(), etc are called by several drivers, but in my quick look I didn't see a guaranteed-to-be-called path to the cleanup during driver unbind. I probably just missed it.
