Until the network device initialization model acquires some
consistency, I don't see a better solution than continuing to
add more special cases.  Which won't work in all cases,
but I think that won't be a risk for the "ipsec" interfaces
(132224) or ppp ones in the way it would be for "eth"
interfaces (108857).

FYI with 108857 I think the bug might best be fixed in
the "ifup" code:  if hotplug is doing its job, then that any
"ifup does modprobe" usage should expect that, and so
it should stop after the modprobe -- or find a way to tell
hotplug it should _in this case_ ignore that interface.

    Some of those might better be redirected upstream,
    to the sf.net linux-hotplug bug database ... :)
