That used to be the case a decade or so ago, but shouldn't be needed
anymore if your hardware is "sane" and can properly go to sleep.  Why
not just fix the driver to correctly sleep instead of unloading
everything?  This would require you to go through the whole
initialization sequence again when waking up and that can be a long time
overall, right?
