BTW, aside from nubus, zorro and superhyway you can find the same pattern
in many other busses. You may want to patch the following methods too.

acpi_device_remove
apr_device_remove
ccwgroup_remove
gio_device_remove
hid_device_remove 
ibmebus_bus_device_remove
macio_device_remove
memstick_device_remove
ntb_remove
pci_device_remove
pnp_device_remove
ps3_system_bus_remove
rio_device_remove
slim_device_remove
soundbus_device_remove
ssb_device_remove
tifm_device_remove
vdpa_dev_remove
vmbus_remove
