That one needs more work: - transport changes should be separate patches from core changes - shutdown generally needs more work, it should disable config in particular just like remove does. - drivers that queue work must have a shutdown callback to sync it - that part can be separate patchsets > Patches 1 and 2 fix two bugs in virtio-ccw's existing > synchronize_cbs() hook.
