AFAIK the purpose of shutdown is to stop all in progress DMAs.

If devices are wildly doing DMA during the shutdown process then all
manner of things can fail, including kexecing into another kernel.

Do you achive that with these shutdown handlers?

It does make sense that the work queue would not be destroyed in
shutdown, but I'm surprised it doesn't flush it?
