I'd like to implement : this in the ng_iface(8) netgraph node type. if_detach() is supposed to do this, but there are theoretical problems with our implementation of it. Also, there needs to be some way to propigate the "gone"ness of the interface generically rather than the ad-hoc way we do it now.
