I had a patch for this a long time ago to speed up recovery.
It was very useful with dial on demand ISDN links or DSL
connections that hang up occasionally to force a new IP.

It was in SUSE kernels for a long time, but never made it
into mainline

Don't forget reference to Andi Kleen in case you push some descendant
of this code
to mainline.
