RDMA devices are of different transport(iWarp, IB, RoCE) and have
different attributes.
Not all clients are interested in all type of devices.

Implement a generic callback that each IB client can implement to decide
if client add() or remove() should be done by the IB core or not for a
given IB device, client combination.

Isn't it better to remove the kverbs_provider flag (from previous if statement)
and unify it with this generic support check?

I thought about it, but didn't find it worth. The kverbs_provider needs
to be provided by device and all ULPs except uverbs will have the same check.

Thanks
