Maybe the bus reference counting is borked.

Various folk have reported similar problems on system shutdown
before, and the simple fix has been not to clean up so aggressively.


?

Like: don't rmmod during system shutdown. Some distros do that,
others don't. Or maybe it was individual customization, I don't
recall (never having had the issue myself).


What puzzled me was that a normal "rmmod" wouldn't give the
same symptoms -- but the same codepaths could oops in certain
system shutdown scenarios.
