Given all the code does operate on struct ifnet, the last step in this
longer series of changes now is to rename struct net_device to
struct ifnet (that is what it was defined to in the LinuxKPi code).
While mlx4 and OFED are "shared" code the decision was made years ago
to not write it based on the netdevice KPI but the native ifnet KPI
for most of it. This commit simply spells this out and with that
frees "struct netdevice" to be re-done on LinuxKPI to become a more
native/mixed implementation over time as needed by, e.g., wireless
drivers.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
This patch currently supports:
- ibcore as a kernel module only
- krping as a kernel module only
- ipoib as a kernel module only
