7   This should be called by a parallel port device driver that
8   has registered itself using <code class="function">parport_register_driver</code> when it
9   is about to be unloaded.
10   </p><p>
11
12   When it returns, the driver's <code class="function">attach</code> routine will no longer
13   be called, and for each port that <code class="function">attach</code> was called for, the
14   <code class="function">detach</code> routine will have been called.
15   </p><p>
16
17   All the driver's <code class="function">attach</code> and <code class="function">detach</code> calls are guaranteed to have
18   finished by the time this function returns.
