It is unwise to free the struct before the ports are even detached.

Right, theoretically something bad could happen here (though not likely). Here's a fix. Sorry for attaching with something so trivial, but Thunderbird isn't very cooperative..

The suspend/resume change for sata_nv introduced a potential bug where the hpriv structure could be used after it was freed in nv_remove_one. Fix that.
