Consumers that receive a device via the ib_client.add 
callback will receive a notification that it is no longer 
available via the ib_client.remove callback.

Given a cma_get_device() call, consumers are unlikely to use the 
ib_register_client() call and therefore will not receive the remove 
callback.
