Handling DCERPC Broken Connections in Endpoint Server

Currently if a connection is broken and an async RPC call is pending, the connection is placed on the broken connections list. These are cleaned up if a future connection is created. However if the standard process model (multi-process) is being used by and endpoint server no future connections will be created in that same process and the connection is never cleaned up.
Is it possible to make dcesrv_cleanup_broken_connections (source4/rpc_server/dcerpc_server.c) a public method? (Adding to the header and adding _PUBLIC_ to the function definition)
This would allow the endpoint server to call it if it detects the async RPC call is complete.
I don’t see any obvious issues with this change, there are other functions such as dcesrv_reply that are public to complete the async RPC call.
