I started reviewing and testing, but need to 
postpone proper testing until mid next week. I did 
notice a few problems (see below)

The threads may have exited already if the
device was in use then then shut down.

Can we create or kthread_run() the threads 
here as I think happened before?

This is what I saw from a quick test:

I think this needs kthread_should_stop() as 
condition for the wait_event_interruptible() or
the thread may not actually stop.

Same here, I think this is needed:

The event handler also needs to get a chance to
run the shutdown functions before it exists. 

This was implicitly the case before.

Is it ok to call wake_up_process() while holding
the spinlocks? (I don't know - just noticed the
comment which used to be there)

vhci_tx_loop() also needs the kthread_should_stop
in its wait_event_interruptible, I think.

I need to leave now for the next couple of days,
so this is a bit rushed.

I can take a closer look and do tests in different
