interface notifications

[Andrew Thompson]

Hi,


I want to bring up the idea again of announcing all interfaces on
creation/insert rather than just physical ones as it is right now. The
difference will be that pseudo interfaces will be reported to devd and
this lets actions be taken in userland.

Anyone care to test.
