It is hard to see from the diff, but when this patch is applied the
vdpa module looks like I imagined things would look with the auxiliary
bus. It is very similar in structure to a PCI driver with the probe()
function cleanly registering with its subsystem. This is what I'd like
to see from the new Intel RDMA driver.

Greg, I think this patch is the best clean usage example.

I've looked over this series and it has the right idea and
parts. There is definitely more that can be done to improve mlx5 in
this area, but this series is well scoped and cleans a good part of
it.
