    Garrett and I discussed what IFF_NOARP should mean about 4-5 years
    ago; we decided that it probably menat "no ARP". We discussed
    the idea of seperating it out into two flags; "Don't reply to ARP"
    and "don't pay attention to ARP" but decided to wait and see what
    people thought. 4-5 years is probably enough time to wait =)

    My proposal: keep IFF_NOARP, but add IFF_NOSENDARP and IFF_NOREPLYARP
    (or something, I'm no good at making up names). I agree with Louie
    that it makes sense for these to be per-interface as opposed to
    Ruslan's sysctl.
