packets. The name 'carrier' and the inversion are historical, think of
it as lower layer.
Note that for certain kind of soft-devices, which are not managing any
real hardware, there is possible to set this bit from userpsace.
One should use TVL IFLA_CARRIER to do so.
netif_carrier_ok() can be used to query that bit.
__LINK_STATE_DORMANT, maps to IFF_DORMANT:
