[openib-general] [PATCH] netdevice.h: Add RDMA private pointer to the net_device structure

[Pradeep Satyanarayana]

My understanding is that the refcnt will still need to be held (even after
this change) even if SDP would not poke at IPoIB's private data. Is that
true?

Moreover there was discussion about getting this data from the CM REQ
private data. So, what is the exact rationale for adding this to the
net_device structure?
