since we switched to toybox ifconfig, it behaves the same as toybox
ifconfig everywhere else:

$ adb shell ifconfig
dummy0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr ae:7c:06:df:aa:06
          inet6 addr: fe80::ac7c:6ff:fedf:aa06/64 Scope: Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING NOARP  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:3 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:0 TX bytes:210

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope: Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:65536  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:0 TX bytes:0

if you're in the untrustde_app SELinux domain, you won't be able to
make that ioctl on Android. in other places it'll show up as
all-zeros.
