Good idea.

attach is straightforward.
detach requires:
- disconnect function to handle the fact that the device
does no longer respond (intr context)
- detach function to delete the device and all its
resources (normal context)
- driver unload (detach all drivers)
Currently the problem lies in the fact that free()/malloc() is called
from intr context, resources are completely freed, ongoing transfers are
cleaned away, etc.
