That sounds like a reasonable idea, and it is definitely another can
of worms.  I looked briefly at some of the .shutdown() cases:

should we throw it into 4.18 and see what happens?

It wouldn't solve this particular problem because hpsa *does* have a
.shutdown() method.  The problem is that it doesn't work -- it's
supposed to stop DMA and interrupts but it apparently doesn't.

I think we need to fix hpsa first.

Absolutely, the othet patch is a parallel issue.
