If dnsmasq is running and listening on 127.0.0.1, the dnsmasq instance
started by NetworkManager will fail to start, and NetworkManager will
operate normally.  (I.e. it won't use the dnsmasq plugin.)

If you want to run an instance of dnsmasq for some other purpose (to
provide DNS and DHCP for a virtual network, for example) you need to
make sure that it isn't listening on 127.0.0.1.
