ipv4/fib_frontend.c: (Re)export ip_dev_find for 2.6.14
(There is emerging functionality (not yet pushed upstream) in the IB
subsystem which relies on this being available. ip_dev_find is used to
find a valid IPoIB device when the outgoing device returned by the route
lookup (ip_route_output_key) is using the loopback interface. A valid
IPoIB device is needed to perform sending an ARP and doing an IB path
lookup so that an IB connection can be made).

Then add this when this "emerging functionality" is pushed upstream.
