handler for this device
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Drop a claim by an OSM on a given I2O device. The handler is cleared
and 0 is returned on success.
.PP
AC - some devices seem to want to refuse an unclaim until they have
finished internal processing. It makes sense since you don't want a
new device to go reconfiguring the entire system until you are done.
Thus we are prepared to wait briefly.
