The QP as a part of the HW resources, it is created in the low-level
driver, and used by the upper ipoib for few reasons, (for example the
mac of the ipoib interface includes from the qp_num)
Now, if we want to use the ndo's init/uninit i need to store member
variables (qp_num and context) in the rdma_netdev, that will let me
use the ndos as is.
rdma_netdev is the one who belongs to both layers, ipoib and the low-level.

IPOIB rdma_netdev's can be casted to ipoib_rdma_netdev, so it is where
ipoib specific cross-layer stuff should live
