So when does the event channel between the backend & front end drivers
break during suspend operation in XEND ??

Also when is the NETIF_INTERFACE_STATUS_DISCONNECTED status sent to
the front-end driver? I see code in the front-end driver that
processes this status type which results in the front-driver going to
a suspend state (like unregistering IRQs etc)
