Just because you see a warning does _NOT_ mean that you should implement
a dummy function to get rid of the warning. It's telling people that
it's unsafe to unload the module. Adding the dummy function doesn't
change that fact - it's still unsafe. The only difference is that we
don't know about it anymore.
The warning is serving its purpose - its telling us that something isn't
right.
