If I configure an IPoIB interface, load the ib_at module, and then try
to remove the ib_ipoib module, the module removal gets stuck with an
endless stream of
    unregister_netdevice: waiting for ib0 to become free. Usage count = 1
This is really bad, because as far as I can tell, there's no way to
recover from this situation other than rebooting.
ib_at needs to be reworked so that it doesn't keep perpetual
references to netdevs.
