* You may ask the interface to drop its reference to an
* in use device. This is no different to unlinking a
* file that someone still has open. The device will not
* actually be destroyed until the last opener closes it.
* The name and uuid of the device (both are interface
* properties) will be available for reuse immediately.
*
* You don't want to drop a _suspended_ device from the
* interface, since that will leave you with no way of
* resuming it.
