All sorts of childs are still created/deleted through sysfs, in a similar manner to the way legacy child interfaces are.
Network device instantiation of this type is the domain of rtnl_link_ops rather than ugly sysfs interfaces.
Didn't add any **new** sysfs interfaces in this patch. The IPoIB sysfs entries to create child devices are there from IPoIB's day one, and we're only extending them a tiny bit. Or.
