There is the gserial_disconnect() callback, which gets invoked when the 
Vbus power (provided by the host) is removed.  It's a pretty good 
indicator that the USB cable has been unplugged.

I don't understand all the stuff that gserial_disconnect() does, but it 
ought to be more or less equivalent to a "hangup" -- as the kerneldoc 
says.  If it doesn't do what users expect, there's probably a bug 
somewhere.

Of course, it's possible that the callback does not get invoked in 
Laszlo's case.  Then the question would be: Why not?
