There is a race where it's possible that the driver in in use when you remove it that is un-avoidable.

I'd like to introduct as few things *as necessary* to the release, but if it's necessary then we should add it. Too many 'fixes' that went into PAO tree that masked the real problem, so before we add the power let's try and figure out what the problem is. Nate
