Now I wonder if it would be good for the core to send those.  Is it
down to the driver to send the begin/end notifications because it would
be wasteful to always send them, or is it some ABI thing?

Also I wonder if it'd be useful for netdevsim to have a mode which
doesn't send notifications, to test both cases.
