it expects user space to help in resolution of an ARP entry.
See linux kernel commit:

    net: neighbour: Remove CONFIG_ARPD

Since we don't care about this, let's just safely ignore this
message for the moment.  I imagine in the future we might
care when we implement neighbor managment in the system.
