Thanks Jason for the valuable feedback.
Here is the revised HFI VNIC patch series.

ChangeLog:
=========
v1 => v2:
a) Removed hfi_vnic bus, instead make hfi_vnic driver an 'ib client',
   as per feedback from Jason Gunthorpe.
b) Interface changes, data structure changes and variable name changes
   associated with (a).
c) Add hfi_ibdev abstraction to provide VNIC control operations to
   hfi_vnic client.
d) Minor fixes
e) Moved hfi_vnic driver from .../sw/intel/vnic/hfi_vnic to
   .../sw/intel/hfi_vnic.

To put it into proportion, Jason asked you to do different thing.
