netdev has several interfaces that expect to call alloc_netdev_mqs from
the core code, with the driver only providing the arguments. This is
incompatible with the rdma_netdev interface that returns the netdev
directly.
Thus re-organize the API used by ipoib so that the verbs core code calls
alloc_netdev_mqs for the driver. This is done by allowing the drivers to
provide the allocation parameters via a 'get_params' callback and then
initializing an allocated netdev as a second step.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
