applied, thanks! But I got some feedback/question inline affecting patch 3/4

IMO having more than ~5 parameter is most of the time a code smell, and sure while we
ain't in rust where we can ensure some sane API and existence of struct/trait members
or methods it's not really that better to expand everything, as scalar on it's own is
way to broad anyway to guarantee anything relevant on calling.

So, maybe we could change this to take

sub net_tap_plug : prototype($$;$) {
    my ($iface, $net, $old_net) = @_;

as then we might even pull in the whole link_down logic separation in here and avoid
duplicating that then again (after just cleaning something similar like that up here).

What do you think?
