So txgbe_remove gets called by the PCI subsystem to alert the driver that it should release a PCI device. Like, β€œhey bestie, this device is leaving, wrap it up” 😭

This can happen because of a Hot-Plug event, or because the driver is going to be removed from memory. Either way, the device is getting released β€” no cap πŸ’€
