OK. The right solution would be to make NM not tear down interfaces on
shutdown. After some discussion in #nm it seems like this makes sense
for a few device classes only (e.g. tunnel or ppp devices should be
stopped on shutdown, while ethernet and wifi should continue to
exist).

Your patch would be fallback in caes we dont get to this during this
cycle.

Thanks!
