Well, seeing as ib_sa.ko doesn't have to be loaded we will still need
A dynamic part somewhere, to handle the registration/deregistration.
We will probably need a new module to manage that.
I think this is doable, but do we need it?

I agree there might be a more elegant solution, but I don't see any other
modules that will use it.  Do we have a use case other than ib_sa/ib_core?
