I think we should all agree that shutting down the device drivers with active
work is not safe. There could be outstanding work that the endpoint driver
needs to take care of. 

That was the motivation for this change so that we give endpoint drivers an 
error callback when something goes wrong. 

The rest is implementation detail that we can all figure out.
