This makes it possible to handle carrier lost and detection.
In case of carrier lost, we shutdown layer 3 and flush all sessions.

I think L2 will notify L3 if the L2 connection is terminated. Is this
patch necessary?

Hmm... well I guess you're right. Admittedly, these patches were made
about 7 - 8 years ago and I have to keep thinking about them.
But I can't think of any situation where this patch should be necessary
at the moment.

I will drop this patch from the patch-set.
