We've another device driver "ehea: IBM eHEA ethernet device driver",
see netdev-2.6.git by Jeff G., branch upstream, that also needs ibmebus
and backport for eg. 2.6.9-RH. If we inline ibmebus in each driver,
we need to put additional checking in order to (de-)register ibmebus
properly when ehca or ehca is rm/insmod-ed, which will make the patch
larger. So we'd prefer the option as a separate module.
