Is that true even in network namespaces? Is this really exported API?
I really don't want to rely on behaviour here that is not considered
official API of Linux.

If it is safe API of Linux, then we really should drop
manager_ifindex_is_loopback() entirely, and just always compare the
ifindex.

Anyone has some pointers where this is made API?
