 I think the if_down "abuse" in pppoe should be removed and an internal flag
 be set to stop reconnect attempts, to be cleared with pppoectl. But this
 is a user visible change of behaviour - so may not be good to pullup to
 active branches.
 
 A workaround would be to move LCP timeout handling from a callout to a
 workqueue, so the if_down() call would happen in thread context (which now
 is required).
