Alexandra Winter cb990a45d7 dibs: Define dibs loopback
The first stage of loopback-ism was implemented as part of the
SMC module [1]. Now that we have the dibs layer, provide access to a
dibs_loopback device to all dibs clients.

This is the first step of moving loopback-ism from net/smc/smc_loopback.*
to drivers/dibs/dibs_loopback.*. One global structure lo_dev is allocated
and added to the dibs devices. Follow-on patches will move functionality.

Same as smc_loopback, dibs_loopback is provided by a config option.
Note that there is no way to dynamically add or remove the loopback
device. That could be a future improvement.

When moving code to drivers/dibs, replace ism_ prefix with dibs_ prefix.
As this is mostly a move of existing code, copyright and authors are
unchanged.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
