Does if_nameindex "work" (modulo the issues with it) on BSD linux
emulation now, and would it fail if we switched to netlink or /proc
based? This is not necessarily a show-stopper but it would be nice if
we had a workaround, and it's something where we should have input
from users running musl binaries on BSD.
