        One of the ways is by using the hidden flag. You can see
how it is handled in arp_solicit in 2.2:

        if (skb &&
            (dev2 = ip_dev_find(skb->nh.iph->saddr)) != NULL &&
            (in_dev2 = dev2->ip_ptr) != NULL &&
            !IN_DEV_HIDDEN(in_dev2))
                saddr = skb->nh.iph->saddr;
        else
                saddr = inet_select_addr(dev, target, RT_SCOPE_LINK);

        But it is not looking good in 2.3.
