I thought this was part of Daniel's reordering to avoid race conditions
between interrupts and module unload. Fortunately not. The lack of locking
during hotplug is worrisome should we ever do dynamic connectors.

Applied to -next. Now you also said that we have memory corruption after
unload... :(
Thanks,
