The intention of this is to make sure the driver stops talking to the
device (as the comment already says).

There are checks in place in the virt queue functions which will make
sure the driver will not try place new requests in the queues after
drm_dev_unplug() has been called.  Which why I decided to implement it
that way.

drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() tears down all outputs according to the
documentation.  Which is something different.  I don't think calling
drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() will do what I need here.  Calling it in
addition to drm_dev_unplug() might make sense, not sure.

Suggestions are welcome.

take care,
  Gerd
