Well, that's problematic. There are a number of different meanings
one could attribute to IFF_NOARP:
1) Ignore incoming ARP requests.
2) Do not send ARP requests.
3) Do not do any ARP processing at all.
The fragment above only attempts to implement (1), and I have no idea
whether it actually works or not. I don't know what other systems do.
