There is one overlooked situation under which a driver
must not do IO to allocate memory. You cannot do that
while disconnecting a device. A device being disconnected
is no longer functional in most cases, yet IO may fail
only when the handler runs.

v2: extended section for NOIO until after second notifier chain
