yes of course it could.
what do we gain?

if it is an orderly shutdown, the init scripts would have down'ed drbd
already, so this notifier would never be called, because it is no longer
there. if the shutdown is not so orderly: we cannot "just call drbd_cleanup",
since we may still be primary, or connected or both or...

I probably just don't get your point?
