*Unload* is a different thing. Clearly a driver can only be unloaded
after all its currently bound devices are unbound, but there is no
dependency in the other direction -- a UEFI_DRIVER module can perfectly
well unbind devices *without* being unloadable.
An edk2 driver module that is unloadable specifies the UNLOAD_IMAGE
define in its INF file. Pretty few drivers do this. (None of the virtio
drivers.)
The "Driver Writer’s Guide for UEFI 2.3.1" writes about unloading in
"7.6 Adding the Unload Feature" (and possibly elsewhere).

Sounds good, thanks!
