In order to be truely device independent the hfi_vnic ULP should not depend

It is not device independent, it is hard linked to hfi1, just like our
other multi-component drivers.. So don't worry about that.
We would like to keep the design clean and avoid any tight coupling here (our
original design in this series tackled these).
Any strong reason not to go with a) or b) ?
