So, this preparatory series will add a pair of simple attach()
and detach() APIs. Then the cdev series will add the locking
and the ioas_unpin stuff as a rework of the detach() API.

I think they can be something mingled... the sample code that
I sent previously could take care of those conditions. But, I
am also thinking a bit that maybe attach() does not need the
locking? I can do a separate replace() function in this case.
