Not really.
We still need to create the netlink socket so that rdma commands can be operational in init_net.

However, there is a bug in incorrectly cleaning up the init_net during ib_core driver unload flow.

I reviewed a fix internally from Mark Bloch for it.
It should be posted anytime soon from Leon's queue.

Mark,
Can you please comment on plan to post the fix to rdma-rc?
