* Perform the final unregister of an IDE interface. At the moment
* we don't refcount interfaces so this will also get split up.

* Locking:
* The caller must not hold the IDE locks
* The drive present/vanishing is not yet properly locked
* Take care with the callbacks. These have been split to avoid
* deadlocking the IDE layer. The shutdown callback is called
* before we take the lock and free resources. It is up to the
* caller to be sure there is no pending I/O here, and that
* the interface will not be reopened (present/vanishing locking
* isn't yet done BTW). After we commit to the final kill we
* call the cleanup callback with the ide locks held.
* The caller must not hold the IDE locks.
*
* Unregister restores the hwif structures to the default state.
* This is raving bonkers.
