DESCRIPTION
       This is the first part of the device unregistration sequence. This removes the device from
       the lists we control from here, has it removed from the other driver model subsystems it
       was added to in device_add, and removes it from the kobject hierarchy.

NOTE
       this should be called manually _iff_ device_add was also called manually.
