Description 
During initial S8 IPMP development, preliminary support for
IPMP on IFF_POINTOPOINT interfaces was added.  The support has
never worked (see 4522335) and indeed it's not clear how a
point-to-point interface meets the basic requirements for IPMP.
As such, Clearview IPMP enforces that IFF_POINTOPOINT interfaces
cannot be placed into an IPMP group.  Accordingly, the partial
IFF_POINTOPOINT logic should be removed from in.mpathd.
