As a small nitpick: this wants to be sizeof(struct in_ifaddr)


What about providing error back to caller and fail to register?


I.e. it is not allowed to create ':iw' alias for anyone else?
Well, looks crappy, but if it is the only solution...


Do you know, that cxgb3 function names suck? :)
Especially get_skb().


Wants to be sizeof(struct iwch_listen_entry) and in other places too.

I skipped rdma internals of the patch, since I do not know it enough 
to judge, but your approach looks good from core network point of view.
Maybe you should automatically create an alias each time new interface
is added so that admin would not care about proper aliases?
