Half-year (or it was year?) ago Linus said that the whole RARP and may be ARP thing does not really belond to kernel and can be easily implemented in userspace but since it's not a big beast and kernel solution is already here it's not of any priority...
Unsolicited arp belond to userspace for sure...
