No no no. /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/hidden does not hide anything, it
just tells the kernel to hide interfaces flegged as hidden using
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*if*/hidden (here lo).
You can thus setup several hidden interfaces (using the interface
specific proc entry) and actually hide (or show) them all at one using
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/hidden.

I'm also using noarp which is, IMHO, way easier to install and use and a
lot more precise than the hidden patch (can hide IP1 on lo and still
show IP2 on lo for example).
