I think we should probably put this in the core module rather than
creating yet another module.  I don't really see what the advantage of
separating netlink into its own module is.

We probably over-modularized the RDMA stack early on, it might in fact
make sense to collapse things down from where they are now.

In fact I'm not sure even for embedded it's worth making this something
that can be configured out.  We probably have too many config options
that no one ever uses as it is.  Are there any embedded systems that are
both so small that a few K of code matters and also use RDMA?
