Yeah, the allow-hotplug ifupdown class provided by /lib/udev/net.agent does
this, but it delays interface ifup action until lo is configured. This usually
means the ifup action is performed at roughtly the time /etc/init.d/networking
has done its thing.

ifplugd's hotplug agent (recent versions) does similarly.

Thanks, Kel.
