Michael,

> With this approach you'll get crashes when the module will get unloaded.
I haven't hit the crash yet when unloading the module. Could you explain 
it in detail?

Do you mean, it might hit below problem?
        unregister_netdevice: waiting for ib0 to become free. Usage count 
= 3

> Further, we may get called with neighbour that is not related to ipoib 
at all.
The none ipoib related neighbour shouldn't have an ipoib destructor 
allocated.

Thanks for the pointer, I will look at these patches soon.

Thanks
