Sorry, no way - this is horrifying.

If you need stable names for RDMA devices then you need to add proper
infrastructure to the kernel to rename RDMA devices from user space
via udev. ala netdev.

or change the ib_core to allow your driver to specify the full name
and manage things in your driver.

No way on this insane block probe approach.
