Add RDMA netdev interface to ib device structure allowing RDMA netdev devices to be allocated by ib clients. The idea is to allow to providers to optimize IPoIB data path. New struct that includes functions and data member is exposed. It exposes set of callback functions for handling data path flows in IPoIB driver. Each provider can support these set of functions in order to optimize its specific data path, and let IPoIB to leverage its data path. There is an assumption, that providers should give the full set of functions and not only part of them, in order to work properly.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
