> The IWCM uses the ib_addr services to do route resolution (neighbour
> discovery in the IP world).  The ib_addr netevent callback routine,
> however, currently only acts on Inifininband neighbour updates.  It needs
> to act on ethernet neighbour updates as well.
> 
> This patch just removes filtering on device type altogether and
> will trigger on any neighour updates where the nud_type is valid.
> This simplifies the code some.
