I really would like to help. What is it that you want to know?
Here's an explanation from an older mail. Does this help?

	Work around for neighbour destructor issue for kernels < 2.6.17:
	keep a global list of all ipoib neighbours. Use it in destructor to
	1. Verify that this neighbour belongs to an ipoib device
	2. Check that the neighbour is the last one to use the destructor,
	if so reset the destructor pointer
