I think in that case we'd probably just want the interface to be downed? 
Some of this is going to require device-specific policy, I think - for 
the network case we probably want something in between IF_RUNNING and 
IF_DOWN (IF_CARRIER, perhaps) that indicates that we want the PHY to be 
powered. Pushing this out to sysfs would mean we'd have a consistent 
interface but varying semantics, and I'm not convinced that's an 
especially helpful interface.
