It's a complete no-op. 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.
