I like this approach, especially given the current implementations.  Roland,
Hal?  What are your thoughts?

Note that ib_cm and rdma_cm technically have the same issue, since cm_id's can
be destroyed by returning non-zero from a callback.  I.e. a user of those
interfaces isn't forced to call anything when unloading.
