Exactly. Try to follow me in my ignorance...
For me, busy means in use, or rather doing something. What
could it be doing? Nothing at all, since I have no such device. I
didn't know how to find which modules are in use by other modules, in
fact I didn't even think about that possibility, so how could I guess
what to do?
If there was a way of saying not that it was busy, but that
such-and-such modules depended on it, then it would have been useful
for me, apart of reporting it here...

Not there. Don't ask me why.
