Introduced new rtnl_link_ops callbacks: alloc_link() to allocate multi-queue netdev and free_link() to release the netdevice. free_link() appoints to free_netdev by default and could be reassigned. These calls should be used by IB ULP code to allocate and release both enhanced and non-enhanced IB drivers and aren't necessary by the regular drivers.
