Subject: [PATCH net-next V3 0/2] Add rtnl_link_ops support to IPoIB

This is about adding rtnl_link_ops to IPoIB, primarly addressing feedback 
from Dave on a similar patch that was part of the eIPoIB submission.

Also added the releated iproute2 patch, for the sake of the review and 
testing, e.g example usages: 

$ ip link add link ib0 name ib0.1 type ipoib 
$ ip link add link ib0 name ib0.8001 type ipoib pkey 0x8001

and the obvious

$ link delete dev ib0.8001
$ link delete dev ib0.1

Changes from V2:
 - removed the notion of user defined index per child, since we can do well w.o it 
 - for that end, make (an internal to ipoib) distrinction between legacy childs created 
   through the old sysfs way to childs created using rtnl link ops

Changes from V1: 
 - applied feedback from Dave Miller to avoid using sysfs
 - added rtnl_link_ops support in ipoib and use them to add/delete childs

Or Gerlitz (1):
  IB/ipoib: Add rtnl_link_ops support
