Nacked-by: Leon Romanovsky [ref] for ANY changes to the
bng_re driver.

The current situation is becoming unacceptable. We have been waiting
for almost 8 months for proper user-space support, which is a mandatory
requirement for RDMA drivers.

Broadcom doesn't leave me with no other option but to remove the driver.

Thanks
