Yes, the first version did just that and worked, but then there were
comments that we have too many modules and I shouldn't add another one.

V0 adds a new kernel module (ib_netlink.ko ) but leaves ib_core and ib_addr
modules unchanged. I also have a version with Leon's patch
that eliminates ib_addr.ko and doesn't add a new module.

Would you like me to submit  a new version (with Leon's patch) or the review can continue with V0?
