	Use struct dibs_dmb instead of struct smc_dmb and move the corresponding client tables to dibs_dev. Leave driver specific implementation details like sba in the device drivers. Register and unregister dmbs via dibs_dev_ops. A dmb is dedicated to a single client, but a dibs device can have dmbs for more than one client. Trigger dibs clients via dibs_client_ops->handle_irq(), when data is received into a dmb. For dibs_loopback replace scheduling an smcd receive tasklet with calling dibs_client_ops->handle_irq(). For loopback devices attach_dmb(), detach_dmb() and move_data() need to access the dmb tables, so move those to dibs_dev_ops in this patch as well. Remove remaining definitions of smc_loopback as they are no longer required, now that everything is in dibs_loopback. Note that struct ism_client and struct ism_dev are still required in smc until a follow-on patch moves event handling to dibs. (Loopback does not use events).

2025-09-23	dibs: Define dibs loopback	Alexandra Winter
	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.
