In R5 there could still be open file handles that prevent the driver 
from being stopped - also, in which order should they are stopped?
Other than that, one reason not to do it is probably a speed issue. We 
can play around with that, though I think a broadcast message to all 
open modules/drivers might be the fastest thing.
