In order to be truely device independent the hfi_vnic ULP should not depend
on a device exported symbol. Instead device should register its functions
with the ULP. Hence the approaches a) and b).

It is not device independent, it is hard linked to hfi1, just like our
other multi-component drivers.. So don't worry about that.

We would like to keep the design clean and avoid any tight coupling here (our 
original design in this series tackled these).
Any strong reason not to go with a) or b) ?
