After looking at it a little more, I suppose device_shutdown() should
theoretically deal with this.

Also, it would be nice if there were a Documentation/kexec.txt or something in
the full patch that describes all the pieces and what the arch dependent
functions are responsible for. Randy, do you have anything like that written
up somewhere that you could include in the next spin of the patch?

Thanks,
Jesse
