Now that the unregister_netdev flow for IPoIB no longer relies on external code we can now introduce the use of priv_destructor and needs_free_netdev. The rdma_netdev flow is switched to use the netdev common priv_destructor instead of the special free_rdma_netdev and the IPOIB ULP adjusted: - priv_destructor needs to switch to point to the ULP's destructor which will then call the rdma_ndev's in the right order - We need to be careful around the error unwind of register_netdev as it sometimes calls priv_destructor on failure - ULPs need to use ndo_init/uninit to ensure proper ordering of failures around register_netdev Switching to priv_destructor is a necessary pre-requisite to using the rtnl new_link mechanism. The VNIC user for rdma_netdev should also be revised, but that is left for another patch.
