like, it literally says it right there. you registered stuff, now you're un-registering it. it's giving "i brought you into this world and i can take you out" energy but for kernel drivers π

not me showing you the exact signature because we do NOT paraphrase code in this house π«Ά

it's giving "the whole squad is here" and honestly the way they all fit together? iconic π
ngl this one's a short page but that's the vibe β sometimes the most important functions are the quiet ones that just clean up after everybody else. main character energy, honestly π
