The IxNpeDl should be uninitialized prior to unloading an application module or driver. (This will
unmap all memory that has been mapped by IxNpeDl.) If possible, IxNpeDl should be uninitialized

Note: Calling ixNpeDlUnload twice or more in succession will cause all subsequent calls after the first
one to exit harmlessly but return a FAIL status.
