A colleague and me beat that dead horse to the afterdeath. Consensus was 
that the return value is less reliable than a coin toss (of a two-heads 
coin).

I'm really not worried about this cases. Assuming that someone goes to 
the effort to swap thing this fast, the IRQ would print an "already 
getting powered down" message, or something of the sorts. It would be 
plainly obvious to even the most casual dmesg observer.

 From what I can tell, the hotplug code is well armed to handle such 
races and resolve them automatically.

I do insist that you spell SURPRISE!!! this way. :)

You're right. We should use the PD/link status gathered at the time of 
the interrupt.

This, and another patch (you have been CC'd) solve my problem of 
crashing during surprise removal. Thanks!
