This patch is preparing the netdev part at the IPoIB driver to be able to use the ipoib_options. It deals with the two flows from the .ndo: ipoib_open and ipoib_stop. The code is rearranged as follows: * All operations which deal with the hardware resources, (for example change QP state, post-receive etc.) are performed in one place. * All operations that are control oriented (like restart multicast task, start the reap_ah etc.) are performed in separate place. The functions that deal with the hardware resources now located at __ipoib_ib_dev_open for the ipoib_open flow and __ipoib_ib_dev_stop for ipoib_stop.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
