The original patches had a horrible dynamic registration scheme for
the netlink dispatch that only served to work around the pointless
module split. The issue is that the dispatch needs to have function
relocations from both modules to follow the usual netlink idioms.

It is unfortunate that distro scripts have become such that they break
if the kernel changes even something small like dependencies.

Another alternative is to move only the parts of ib_addr that touch
netlink into ib_core. Hopefully that doesn't create an empty module.
