Dear networkers,
we are working on fixing LORs in if_link_state_change() path, and
adding possibility to call if_link_state_change() pseudorecursively,
when link of interface depends on link of the other.
I'm posting this patch for wider review. An important point about it
is that, if several link events occur VERY quickly, only the last one
will be processed. I don't know of any software that will be broken by
such behavoir. If you know some, please tell me.
Thanks.
